Title: Bob Field Memorial Grands - 21st and 22nd August
Post by: Dex Dexter on August 10, 2010, 01:26 PM
Word up dirty boys,

The Grands are coming. 2 weeks away and I have ordered and payed for loads of big trophies - including Old School.

Clark and Kent are working on the track as we speak and it is as smooth and firm as one of digglers fresh catches.

They have even mellowed the euro style 4th striaght (well just a bit anyway).

Saturday - novice and fun.  Still time to add in your own flavour.

Sunday - all expert racing including OS.

So who is coming?

I know Stephen Murray is...

You can register on Saturday track side so Sat should be ok to do it only but it is leaving it late for Gav who is doing the moto sheets.

Check out: http://bobfieldgrands.blogspot.com/

Is that it - 2 riders?

What is going on?  I thought you all liked Crewe?

Seriously - I have ordered big trophies!

Right, there are at least 4 of us definitely pre-registered for this in the Old Skool.
Mark W, Nada, Moley - are you signed up yet, are you still up for it?

We only need a few more for a full gate or even 2 motos, I think that'd be great for an open event  :daumenhoch:

Get your name down Oggy! Don't listen to Richie, he's more of an Old School newbie than I am  :2gunsfiring_v1:

Why not do the Trophy race on an OS bike as well, that'd be cool  ???

Post by: moley on August 20, 2010, 08:54 PM
I can't make it!!  :'(

If someone is going and they have a camcorder then please please film it.

Just the OS, Payback and Grands will do!!!  :daumenhoch:

Just emailed my entry form and paypaled the fee.

I'm only coming on Sunday so I'm thinking I'll be there at about 8:30 for a couple of laps before the racing starts.

Jon - would you do me a favour and check I'm on the sheets (in Old School) when they are put up on Saturday.  :daumenhoch:

Thanks to the Crewe peeps for a top day - good work with the weather. Some amazing riding today - the Bloomfield/Batey final was top notch action.

In Old School; Congrats to Richie for winning. Also, top marks to the Scots for making the long journey down and riding with crippling hangovers.

Nada, the high standard of the pros was continued in the Trophy race with the same result; Bloomfield, Batey, Strickland I think. Jaw-droppingly fast, seemed a tad faster than the main race  :shocked:

Yeah, it was a great weekend, I really enjoyed the whole thing especially watching the high jump competition with a few beers. It was a very long day today with all the extended breaks.

Kudos to the Scots for all the travelling! Nada - I've got your medal safe.

A wee note just to say thanx for the grt weekend in Crewe. Sat was great , Sat night was a blur. On Sunday the racing was great but my head was a bit tender.

Well done Richie for the win and the 2 Kennys for 2nd and third .

And a shout the the rest of the OS crew who were all on top form.

Better get back to work  ;)

Oh there is no footage from me as been deleted

Here's some evidence:

Shanaze wanted her picture taking with the Old Skoolers. We were reluctant as we're a shy, retiring bunch, but we said okay:

excellent weekend, top weather as well - it pissed down at home all weekend so was good to be away - didnt get home till 12 last night 50 mph limited in the Groove Truck then unloading drive home from the warehouse etc...

they work bloody hard for their money in that thing, one kid had me pumping up his tyre 5 times yesterday...

Ill defo race the OS next year, gutted i couldnt race this year but i would have killed myself i was feeling so shite... getting senisible in my old age, good to see a reasonable turn out from the OS - thought there would've been more Northern contingent though, well done for the Scots for making the trip

Big Props to Dex and the rest fo the CGR!  Till Next year!

Not seen any yet Daz.

The Saturday was really good as well, as the novice racing was done really well with top commentary and quite a few watching. Hopefully the buzz will help keep a lot of them interested. Watching the pump races (including clearing the pro section  :shocked: ) and high jump comp with a few tinnies in the evening sunshine was mint  :daumenhoch:
