the current national champions are not conducting themselves worthy of the esteem many would have them held too. might take a few a while to work that out and some will never work it out. the rest are in denial....... its laughable when on this board the "i know something but cant/wont tell" is abhored and yet our national champions can drop a bomb (or is that throw the rattles) and no questions can be asked or explanations will be given due to "respect" do they not owe the speedway community the truth? our 2x 1nz's.......... Because, dear busterbell, we can control the former, the annoying idiots that profess to know it all but won't say what they know (which therefore could be deemed speculation), and the latter, had Rees Racecars chosen to announce this without explanation on macgor's then yes, I'd agree they owe us an explanation. Since they chose to announce it via FB, it seems ludicrous to me that you think this is therefore the platform to ask questions and expect explanations. I'm sure you're quite capable of tracking down Pete via his FB page or his workshop if you really want to know more. For anybody else to answer your questions it's purely speculation, which as macgor has already explained, we won't be going down that track. You must get out of the mindset of obtaining your information from one source but asking questions via another source. Barry B you have missed my point entirely. as national champions is it acceptable to to make major announcements with no offer of explanation? not to me its not. you make an announcement then back that with the reasons why it has been made. or the reason for no explanation is that explanation is not fitting behavior for a 1nz. |

ok so yes this is a shame that two very high profile drivers willnt be competing at the teams event this year. however the overall event is larger/bigger than two indidvuals and must continue as it will do with class and quality.

We're not allowed to ask questions. They've asked for privacy so we must obey their request. A cying shame none the less that It has come to this. Tears have we no doubt been shed. |

Just read this from the Rees Racecars Facebook Page
"All our car are for sale guys so please message us for details or call us"
Umm......I hope this isn't an exit from the sport.

I'll repeat , they state it's for personal reasons and we should respect that. If it transpires later that's not the case then that's the time to groan or moan or whatever it is you do best. Asking questions here won't get you any answers.
I will say speedway is lucky it's not taken more seriously by mainstream media , I can image how some would react to reporters and camera men beating on doors.

I think that if you look further down the Rees Race car page on Facebook you will see that they stated that all three of the tanks were for sale for $40,000 each on the 9th January so obviously it is not a new development.

Was just going to mention that - love the rees'or loath them they are good for the sport, and have done a lot for the sport. They put bums on seats, and sell live streams. I sincerly hope they dont leave the sport - just had a horrible thought and its solely my own thought. |

Yeah the 3 tanks.. So they could concentrate on superstocks. All cars is ALL cars including suoerstocks as far as ALL is concerned, this is a sad day for our sport |

In my experience everything we do is done for personal reasons however; that being said, surely it is no-one's business other than the Rees's what those reasons are. If they wanted the wider Speedway community to know they would have published them either on here or on their Facebook page. Well-known drivers are just as entitled to their privacy as the rest of us and most of us would not appreciate people poking and prying into our lives, speculating on and second guessing our decisions. Respect their privacy and treat them the way you would like to be treated - not as public property or sources of gossip.

Seriously how can you pop up once a year and starting spouting off like this. I'm sorry but what if a family member has past away did you think of that. What if someone I really sick. Did you think of that. They both won there 1nzs on the track not by talk crap of it or on here. Doing it on the dirt radio show are going to talk about it tomorrow 7pm listen to that. They will reveal all we need to know. Now leave it be and get on with real speedway talk like how wanganui should be favourites

This whole drama is turning out to be bigger than Ben Hur.....or even Colin Meads' 21st..!! I have a question, has anyone got a recipe for scones? That food processor never came with a cook book ,?? Sultana ,date ,or cheese ,or just plain with cream and home made blackberry jam . Gazza ,Ben Hur was the best chariot racer of all time ,they had balls of steel, real heroes ,your cant compare lemons with sour grapes  |
