Can you bring me back any parts in your luggage ? IF you meet up with TM bill he got some stuff you could grab .....
-
Freaky what parts? How much space will I need? Is Bill going to be anywhere near Aukland. Johnny Old is on the same day as SGP.
Happy to help if planets align.
Cheers
Shaun
-
he has my 2 valve over there so any parts from a cable to a back wheel, frame or motor would help any.... im agine what street cred you would have getting on a plan with a rear speedway wheel in your lap and a SGP t shirt on !. you might even get a free upgrade ..... :O)
I know a few of the guys are goingover for the J.O have no idea where it is in relation to Aukland track... Just throwing it out there incase any one can assist.
-
Levin (Johny Old) is a Day's drive fom auckland
-
So thats a bad thing right ? or do you all fly out of aukland air port ? via Taupo :O)
-
See you in the Klub Kevlar stand ,Turn 1.The old town will be full of auzies
-
TAlk of the FIM peeps over here a few months back considering putting a round down here too, to make it easyier for teams to cover the travel, if they can get a promoter to cver the million to host it. can only hope
-
Break open your piggy bank Freaky.
Having another round here in OZ makes sense, fingers crossed.
-
well i hear its just waiting on the nod, some folks are going over to NZ to check the concept vs coinage. so anything is possible and it would help out the NZ sgp cause 2 rounds over this side of the globe makes the team numebrs stack up, ( plus i think there i some rounds in the same place 2twice currently and they want to open it up...

WE LAST HAD A GP IN SYDNEY 2002
I WAS GOOD TO WATCH WORLD CLASS RIDERS
THE PROMOTER SAID NEVER AGAIN AS HE LOST MONEY
NOT ENOUGH TICKETS SOLD
-
electronic squilionaire backing here,current speedway (cars) promoter.Probably for love of spoert than to get rich.heard need 40,000 to get next time,if thats true?
-
40k what people of coin ? i heard its a few million to get to host it. plus you cost on top of that.......
-
I think Bazza might mean 40,000 spectators.
-
40,000 spectators needed we heard.
-
youd have to get at least 20k minimum so your half way there, i know a lot of people from AU going over so you well on the way, plus all the speedway tragic who travel the world. you just need to get the local behind it, i recon it will go mental. whish i was going...
-
you get 25,000 to the boxing night speedway (cars only) 15-20,000 street races,there are buses coming from the bottom of Unzud so hope for 35-40,000
-
Hows this for a bonus , Red bull city scramble is on the next day April 1st in downtown Auckland and its free entry ;D

I WAS TALKING TO CRUMPY AT NORTH BRIS
WE DISCUSSED WHY NO AUS GP
HE SAID THE NZ GOVT PUT IN MONEY
PERHAPS THE NZ GOVT HAVE UNDERWRITTEN ANY LOSS
THE PROMOTER MAY SUFFER
-
Here's hoping they can get 40,000 spectators.Given the current economic climate I fear it is a big ask.
Shame I will miss it given I live five minutes away.
It would have great to catch up with you Aussie guys and have a cold beverage with Bazza.
But the weather forecast is looking good for the Johnny Old,and I would much rather be riding than watching,especially while the body allows me ;).
Have fun guys.
Fingers crossed it happens again next year. :D
-
elsinoreyz the promoter has more money than the Government-even runs his large yaught in the race to hobart each year
-
BAZZA THE UNDERWRITING
WOULD BE TO BSI THE PROMOTER OF SGP
SYDNEY 2002 WAS A PURPOSE BUILT TRACK
NO LOCAL SPEEDWAY PROMOTER
GOOD TO SEE A MAN PUTTING HIS MONEY
INTO MOTORSPORT
I WISH THERE SOME RICH AUSSIES LIKE BILL
AL
-
Elsinoreyz - your spot on
-
Just got my ticket holder info for the SGP. It prohibits from the stadium, among other things, fireworks, gang paraphernalia and weapons. What is going on over there Bazza? How are we supposed to enjoy ourselves. New Zealand's never been the same since I left. ;D
-
PEte, hook up with TM bill, fill your bag and bring me home some of me stuff............... ;)
like i said get some street cred and put my speedway front wheel on your lap during the flight.... upgrade to first class, tell you crumpy's dad. ;D

Only there for two days Kerry, and I don't know if Bill is going to be there.
-
Dont worry pete those are rules for overseas ticket sales,the cuzzy bros will be there.here from you later,just back from the beach hop,pick up Al tomorrow.
-
Jist go in the bick gate with a chilly bin full. ;D
-
Hancock 1st, Crump 4th.
Don't really know anymore.
-
I watched it on Speed, Hancock was on fire. Crumpy was a little off the pace of Hancock and Gollob in the heats.
-
Awesome..where is Gollob from..cheers
-
Crumpy text me earlier.. He said hard day, made a few mistakes but can get better
-
Alison, Tomasz Gollob is Polish, he won the title in 2010 after about 15 years of trying.
Good to see all the older blokes setting the pace.
I haven't seen any of the racing but by the sounds of it, Crumpy will be happy with that result.
Holder had a tough night.
Speedway is one of those sports where you only need to be slightly off the pace and you're no hope.
-
cheers ~ fullnoise news Greg Hancock storms to victory....
-
Crumpy off,Thomas gollob 3rd highest points but not on podium missed final,that guy can ride. 1 race mid event swapped lead over and over a stunner. estimate 30,000 and 6,000 Auzies who were all saying they will return next year, and most important the yellow dance girl was hot. Found a pub with good band for a beer with AJ and Yamaico and other Auzies after the event,great night.
-
Yep the Yellow Wiggle got the nod in a quality field from the boys at turn one. ;D
Was an awesome event. We had grandstand seats that were crap. So we stood on the fence at turn one for the entire event. It was just like the old days at the Ekka/Royale, getting sprayed with dirt every lap ;D Tip for next year. Forget Grandstand and get GA tickets and arrive early for a spot at the front.
If it is on again next year I will be doing all I can to get here. There are 76 people in our tour group. I reckon that number will be over 100 next time.
Cheers
Shaun
