Joe Cockers song you have a.. reason to live but leave your hat on ,is something you should apply to yourself Phill B
Barry B is macgors magical musician ,with over 15000 posts to his credit he believes in protecting his rights in keeping the status quo in order ..Something you have to admire ,its a shame your flatmate Jacinda doesnt show the same respect as he has ,to the people of Aotearoa..
Now if you wish to cross the border all you need is a leather jacket a harley bike and a geri helment yes away you go we dont want any confrontations with the border police ...
It is pleasing that we are able to watch speedway events from overseas ,and those tracks starting to open up in this country ,i may wonder up and watch the centra track up the road on sunday if home on time ...

Well that is a surprise ,mind you public pressure and the way the country is feeling ,that Auckland and the Waikato are moving to level 3 step 2 from next week Hoorah ,Hoorah the streets will bustle with people ,shopping for Xamas with the little money they have ,but to most thats the Christmas spirit we share with our loved ones in Aotearoa Is a step closer to opening the borders ,and also the pearly gates to the Speedway Sport ,we so much miss and enjoy It appears Phill B has fallen off jacinda,s plank  but will be the only invited guest at her wedding ,but our celebrations will be a whole lot better with the smell of methanol and the much loved hot dogs ... (90 % vaccination is in mind of everyone ,..well most anyway ... Awesome posts midway. Its painful grieving the death of speedway, along with many of our other freedoms and rights - isn't it? The reason to log on here now appear limited to perhaps venting about the consequences of Covid, and of course to soak up your inspiring wisdom! LOL. Hopefully as many posters as possible get a fair and reasonable opportunity to read these comments and have a fair opportunity to have their say before your hypocritical mate Barry the bigot B deletes this thread under the bogus pretense of being off topic. Start a specific thread political thread then PhillB. After that is will be up to others as to what happens to it. I won't touch it. There is Covid and politics all over the place, especially where I live, and Covid and politics all over most message boards outside of Macgors, and Covid and politics totally destroying my summer. I started a thread about Speedway New Zealand and our championship meetings this coming season. On some message boards the thread author has the ability to delete any posts within their own threads. I know that's not the case there, but with the announcement of a decision looming over he future of the upcoming championship season I made the decision to keep my own thread on topic. I knew you'd be upset and calling names, hence why I posted that it was me that had deleted the posts so none of the other moderators, or the message boards as a whole, had to feel your wrath.

Speedway is the specific topic of this discussion board and although a bit of off topic discussion is ok from time to time the last thing we need on here are political gripe sessions and the abuse that usually accompanies such posts or abuse aimed at moderators trying to steady the ship. Try Facebook for that sort of stuff.
Got to feel for the tracks having to stay closed at the moment and the uncertainty they and many others are having to manage.

I do hope that the tracks that are closed and owned or administered by councils ,that rent of such grounds by the clubs or promoters has been negotiated for rental reprieve ..Some councils i guess would be sympathetic to the request perhaps Mayor Phill B Goff would be iam sure now he doesnt have to worry about water rates anymore ...
I do hope that the Steve Williams charity meeting goes ahead and if there are any updates that would be grateful in the land of Aotearoa ..
Now i did hear the old Boss mention the word gripe ,well its November and the strawberries are ripe so that will sweeten us up ...
Be kind to each other .

Kiaora
It is good to see we still have some one that can build a good track
As the competitors who found it tough going fell by the way side ,yes the Bills and the Rights found it not to there liking and seemed to retire early ,well thats how competition is if you want to be first past the post ..
Mind you the poor old ref caught some hectic abuse ,but with a sunburnt hide from his lazy days of summer seems ok with the with drawl
Yes racing can be exciting at times no doubt and a 360 sprintcar driver just had the wrong gearing set up ..
life is still enjoyable in Aotearoa ..

As it becomes more apparent in this country that more and more immigrants will take up residency here ,as a sport are we doing enough to keep the interests of speedway going ,for our future generations
As a lot of these migrants certainly come from vastly different cultures ,some of which unfortunately are just so used to a donkey and cart .
Another factor is the cost of even fuel ,and the way the greens are well even no cows to milk ,but one consolation is they dont know what day it is to turn up to a world conference at our tax payers expense ..
Boy it is easy to say yes the good old kiwi he will survive but just look around you ,often out numbered even at the vege markets in jaffa town on Sundays unloading produce ..

Come on bro, this post is all kinds of bad. Adapt or be left behind, embrace diversity and a country that is more than old white dinosaurs leading and setting the agenda. I dig speedway too, but it'll die without responding to the consumer and diverse audience base. I'd go as far as to say I'd stop attending if this kind of BS talk represented the speedway community. |

I'd go as far as to say I'd stop attending if this kind of BS talk represented the speedway community. have had the pleasure to take some philapinos to Speedway last year and they loved it and can't wait to go again. Couple of them would probably luv to have a go if they ever get to become kiwis, unfortunately our boss is paying them to little to take up the great offer our government has offered them. Apparently they need to be on at least $27 an hour to be eligible and they are only getting $26.50. Also took a South American work mate who fell in love with superstock racing who is just waiting for this covid thing to settle down and get back here to make nz his home. |

Thats why I have always loved stockcar racing doesn't matter if your black white yellow or red, big or small, male or female.,they are all equal in a stockcar on a track. Long live our great sport open to any man or women who wants to have a go |

When you witness a infant child pre school age attend a covid test nose swob ,you just cant comprehend the grief that this poor individual had to go through
Surely in this day of age the mentality of such a ordeal for these youngsters needs addressing .
The screams rung in your ears during the course of the ordeal ,and today was my worst nasal swob test done by nothing but a mad butcher ,we used to get the spit in the bottle test ,but it was to slow in turning up through the post and lasted 5days compared to 7 days we have now ..
So if you are unvaccinated but have a swob test taken and a medical certificate to prove so and your test result shows negative on a text phone message ,will you still be allowed through the gates of any speedway meetings if it becomes a requirement ...

I just thought it was implied as an unnecessary divisive term and could have been worded better.

Maybe to many riddles have robbed you of time to get yours. Yeah but thats only a piece of paper to say you have been recorded as been vaccinated ,these are proper plastic cards like a bank card with your digital Acc number on and when you swipe through the machine like eftphos your detail s come up it also may require your photo on it ... And while you have been locked up i have a border pass even in level 4 to travel so my freedom is far greater  but never mind i can take it on the chin ,i know how you jaffas have suffered for some well deserved freedom ,but be careful the tsunami delta wave may follow your footsteps faster than you think |
