Got $10 on this post not lasting more than about three minutes... Idiot You can just buy me a beer at teams champs penman  Ya gotta take up the offer inside the three minute window...otherwise it's like betting on the outcome of a match after the final whistle has sounded (unless you've pre-arranged the result via spot-fixing of course). And, $10 beers? Phew - top end stuff. |

As the core reasons where not revealed and discussed it's just opened up for more assumptions and speculation but most people can read between the lines. yea didn't really answer anything, probably just added more fuel to speculate... |

I know it's not finished yet but all is not really being revealed is it. In fact one name had not even been mentioned yet. Come on Ramjam Surely you can read between the lines.... Yip, but there's a problem with having to read between the lines and that is, no matter what he implied, he can only be quoted on what he did say. Anything can happen in the next few weeks and if someone goes back to Gary and says "on the radio show you said you stood down because no one was dropped from the Mustangs" he says no I said "I stood down cause my decision was overridden" I never said it was cause of the Mustangs. It was billed as an all will be revealed and it was far from that. I thought it was going to be "So a meeting was held between..... " and finish with "So that's why the Rees's and myself have all stood down" |

I've been reading this page for a few years now and I have noticed an increase in frequency of pages getting "locked" due to people having a good discussion on hot topics. By locking topics all the time due to you disliking where they are going is only doing harm to this site. Activity has slowed down over the last couple of years which I put down to the fact that the moderators are out to force their opinions on members of this board and if anything they don't go along with then they shall lock the thread. It's hot topics like this one that keeps people interested in this site. Who wants to read about a normal meeting with no action? It's events like the one in the weekend past that generates activity on this discussion board. Freedom of speech should be encouraged here. Yes there's mindless dribble on here at times but if people want to talk then let them. As soon as someone becomes abusive then suspend their membership don't lock a thread that has some good discussion going on. Who cares if people are repeating themselves it's their internet data being wasted. . Someone needs to moderate me. There you go,,,,, done  |

Just a small opinion. Obviously there is a lot of opinion on the situation but the part that concerns me the most is, not the fact about the on track altercation but the pot shoting of the Rees business. To start picking on how they construct their cars and mention they are been made of poor workmanship is unfair. As for Kerry not seeing the lights, maybe it is time for green, yellow and red lights in the cars that are activated when the race controller turns them on. Other class might follow suite as dust at some tracks is a problem. Could you point me to a post picking on the construction of the Rees cars and the Rees business. Not saying there isn't one or two I may have missed. The incident happened under green lights so lights in the cars wouldn't have helped. I think a case could be mounted for the track green lights to start flashing once the leader has crossed the finish line. |

By?? Rees or Parkes? If so - in both cases - surely you've just buckled even further. Who controls the microphone here - the show hosts, or the interviewees? I can accept that, often an interview subject or their minders will have some no go subjects. The interviewer can decide how close he's wants to push those boundaries, but it was a fairly soft interview IMHO. There was an interview with Paul Simon and Sting in today's NZ Herald. It was done by phone, with 3 PR minders on the line as well. I'm sure the questions would have been pre-submitted as well. The problem with what penman is suggesting is that if you want to interview anybody more than once, you can't always ask every little thing you'd like to and push to the limit on every point. If it's a one off, go for the jugular!!! Barry B |

The damage to 126P , as all have built protection bars for the engine.
Normally these guards protect the engine from such an event. Why these failed is only a guess.

I guess speedway is to much of a village to want to burn too many bridges |

If it's a one off, go for the jugular!!! Barry B I'm certainly not advocating going for the jugular Barry, because I realise the interviewer certainly has to retain some type of good relationship with those being interviewed. As you've said, if it's a one off - and no future interviews will be required - ask every difficult question you can. But, I do feel there needed to be some clarity added to the overall interview by mentioning the situation itself that has driven this issue. And I do feel there needed to be a couple of glaring questions asked that were avoided. Heck, I've had to ask some pretty tough questions in my time too, but it can easily be tempered by a slightly 'cushioned' approach: "Look, I know this is a difficult issue, and a topic you'd rather avoid, but people are going to be asking, what about <<insert issue A here>> and how did <<insert issue B here>> play a role here?" At least that way, you've put the ball in their court to give an answer (or decline to answer), and let listeners or readers know that the questions has been asked. |

I'm not sure how that works? We don't even agree with each other half the time Barry B |

And your post too (and my reply) is off topic. Someone needs to moderate me. Moderate or dictate? Staying on topic is not a term or condition of registration - is it! |

Stratford place to be Saturday night. King of the Mountain Stocks with full field of over 30 cars including 3 Rees and a handful of other P cars.
Supers by all accounts and reports have had good numbers lately and they be bolstered by the Rees and maybe more from out of town.
NZ Minisprint Grand Prix also.
Good fix of action right there

are we bored with this yet?
those that don't know anything will never know, and those that do know, knew it all along..........
not much changes from year to year. the pokers keep poking and the sweepers keep sweeping.

Looks like Rees Race Cars are in Damage control, deleting posts form there FB page gone is the big dummy spit post!
This has turned out to be a bigger bubble popper than the DotCom moment of truth. Attention seeking?, I thought Pete was better than that.
