I think most would rather just a driver put his head down move on and go racing... not pull the silly stunts and impose all this nonsense to the sport.. mind you there are sookswho don't get it their way in all sports I guess

Please don't turn this thread into yet another petty squabble about these people. Anonp, your posts historically are pretty much always on one subject/driver so it's difficult to read any of your comments on the matter as unbaised or objective. If Kerry wants to tell his side of any story, I'm sure he can find somebody to write it. If he wants me to write it, I'm not that difficult to track down. But no, it wouldn't be the same interview at all, IMO.
People had been asking, including here on macgor's, what the Rees family (which after all is six cars) were up to next season, so that interview was a chance to answer those questions, and a few more, first hand, and hopefully make for a little light reading whilst being informative, that's all.

i have read the article several times. it is true that it is one sided perspective and does not address the whole issue other than that. nothing new was brought forward and many questions remained unanswered or not approached.
the one thing that stands out is the rees camp is in full agreement with me is that palmy officialdom is a farce, biased and self indulgent. on this occasion the rees camp find themselves at odds with the decision making this time not going as they have demanded. they have held the promotion to ransom and have been heartened that they have not buckled to pander to one man. the sport is bigger than just one man.........
the other parties have kept there heads down, not seeking self promotion and that is to be admired. the issue was dealt with on the night and for some that is where it needs to be left.
there shall be some interesting dynamics in palmy next season with the mix of p and ex p contracted drivers. that may prove entertaining for a while but may be the catalyst for the downfall of the club/promotion.
gizzy may benefit in the short term, but it remains to be seen if they can capitalise or maintain the benefits once the party has left the town.
as eluded to before, the one positive to look forward to next season is the change in loyalties/dynamics on track with the door ajar for any non p driver no longer having to contend with the palmy stronghold. a chance for others to step up and become hero's or stamp their authority on a a new change of guard.

The bit i found interesting was the harsh words between Pete and Scott Miers about how the other panthers had carried him in the past through injuries and poor form and still won titles!

Although hasn't your problem always been with the refereeing at Teams, when the referee hasn't been from Palmy? Amazing how you've made this about you busterbell  and beachboy agrees, so it's ALL the BB's  Barry B |

Certainly an interesting read, congrats to Barry Brown it is the first time I have been tempted to read something in the Dirt Track magazine for a long time. It highlights a number of things, firstly there is always more than one side to any story, secondly it doesn't matter what happens in life you can't please everyone all the time, and finally that there is more to life than speedway and while some people choose to become consumed with the crap that happens off the track some people manage to put it in the "cant change what has happened basket" and enjoy all the other things in life whilst quietly preparing for another season. Long may the action stay on the track and not off it.

Yes, but I was just sayin' you normally raise your head only at Teams time when the out-of-town refs are in situ, but now you're suggesting ANY ref that steps into the box at Palmy is questionable? Must be something in the air....... Barry B |

Buster only complains about the refrees at Palmy when the Tigers cop another spanking .. lol..
That aside , great job done Barry Brown , and hats off to the Rees Family . Like they say theres more to speedway than just Palmy ..
The Rees will have the final say on this matter , remember it isn't them who will continue looking in their mirrors or wondering what event to attend in fear of copping the payback which will always be on the Rees mind .
It will just be a matter of which one its coming from ...
Fun times ahead I would say..

Buster bell, I am disappointed in your comments re PN Officials being a farce. I have been a official of SNZ for 10 years and four of them at a senior level nationally refereeing championships in christchurch,Stratford, waikakara park, Wanganui, wellington and PN. I am also the referee that PR is referring about, I have raced against him in the early 2000's and am a assistant referee at PN Speedway every week. I can assure you there is no farce, no pre judgement no hate tread towards any competitor at PN speedway which includes the Rees family. Just to let you know that I am also the 2nd SNZ official that officiates at the superstocks teams champs. We are more than fair with all competitors as being a ex competitor a trip to the refs box is less than ideal. We are not there to be militarian dictator rather than foster the sport in what you can or can't do within the rules. Busterbell Have you ever raced at PN?, done a NZ championship, Grand Prix, teams champs as if you have im sure you would know who I am. I am available to talk at any time so if you want to you can contact me via a Google search or PN Speedway as I'm happy to chat. BB I am also disappointed in yourself not getting the other side of your story as there are several items in your story that are infactual. Maybe we can catch up at the awards dinner/ AGM and we can discuss this. Regards Ross |
