geezas,i'm still wearing those orange leather pants with the yellow stripe!(how embarresment ),

[number 87]

Sounds like a great concept, not a cheap entry fee though, I hope the meeting is well marketed, as "gate" (spectator $$) are the only way that

competitor entry fees can be reduced.

Raced at the first (?) bike speedway meeting there in '88 I think . . . . .(maybe "89) in front of a "official" crowd of 9000 people.

I hope these numbers can be repeated.

Cheers

No harm in asking for a cheaper entry rate.Give the pre75/85 bikes a run and the spectators quality for money well spent.

I remember going down to Granville for that supercross with Vern Grayson to race the Norton Wasp. It was just after the train crash that took out the overbridge and a few were squashed. Very messy.
I can't remember how we went at all-it's just a blank, so if anyone has a program I would love to see it.
