I can confirm Shane Penn is back in HB. I spoke to him briefly this afternoon. He was in Pak N save Napier, pushing a trolley with a crutch in 1 hand, and his boy by his side. Great to see the man back home and on his feet!!! Didn't get too much of a chance to talk to him, apart from brief pleasentries (as he'd just gone thru the in gate and I was heading out), but just seeing him back and on the road to recovery is great.

Yes, Shane flew home Tuesday but it's been one of those weeks and I didn't get around to doing an update!! It all happened very quickly after a visit by ACC a little earlier than expected.
Still got some broken bits to heal, but is well pleased to be home obviously. Will make life much more comfortable for Shane, Philippa and Bradley.

Barry please could you pass on all of our regards to Shane, on behalf of everyone here in the UK. So glad to read that he's on the mend, he's a top guy and one of the very best - certainly he's someone who always makes time for us when we are over.
All the best to you guys,
Simon Hughes

Hi any news on how Shane is doing? Shane is doing very well. He announced his retirement from racing at the NZ Speedway Awards on Saturday night, and intends spending 12 months away from the sport and doing some travelling before deciding where his future in the sport lies. Referee perhaps? Barry B

Not entirely unexpected news.
Congratulations to Shane for all his fantastic achievements through the years, but even more for being such a fantastic ambassador and competitor. Always had time to talk, especially where the kids were concerned.
