Title: Woofinden ballet at speed. Class!
Post by: themoudie on January 09, 2016, 10:44:27 PM

Even if you don't watch speedway, don't know who 'Woofie' is, but enjoy high speed sideways motorcycles, ridden with elan, I hope you enjoy this race video.  ;D

'Woofie' Class! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5gEm8fnU80)

Good health for 2016. Snorkel and flippers now stored, whilst the ice and snow come from the North Pole.

My regards, Bill

Bill, thank you so much for posting this. I LOVE speedway, even though there isnt any in Ireland. For a few years, every trip we made over to Britain, me and Alison would try to get to a race. We ended up in Berwick, Coventry, Swindon, Kings Lynn, Workington, Newcastle, and Taunton, and it just really grabbed us.
So, if there's any near you, get out and support this raw balls out racing! I must plan a trip to Cardiff for the British Championship sometime  ;)

Aye Steve, "Sorry for the other fella"? Nah, that's racing!  ;)  You see more than many what happens when the mist descends, that bit of track is MINE!  >:(

Aye Tim, Glasgow Tigers and Edinburgh Monarchs are the 2 teams up here. Never been to a Tigers meeting, but have enjoyed meetings at the Armadale Stadium that is the 'home' track of the Monarchs. The crowd are 'interesting', as anybody that knows Armadale will tell of the eclectic people of this ex-mining and industrial town in West Midlothian, and the racing is good as well!  ;)

And just for bit of fun from the "Dixie Dirt draggers"!  ;D  I kid you not, here is the link: Dixie_Dirt_draggers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTQjRZ84nG4)

Good health to you both in 2016.

My regards, Bill

Morning Bill...yes thanks for posting vid, brilliant race and superb skill and bike control from tai woofiden. My n big bro used to follow speedway every week for quite a few years when we were younger (a lot younger) we used to catch the bus to go see the "bradford barons" I can still smell the smell you got at a meeting now, brilliant. Then they allowed the stock cars on the track and they ruined it so the bikes were no more, real shame. Seems to be having a resurgence (certainly over ere) which I think is mainly down to tai woofinden.  Thanks again for the vid,  cheers...Michael
