The Place

Thanks sidecarracing

Apologies for absence,this machine got a virus(swine flu ?) good to be back but what sadness about Jehonville,poor old Roland he must think someone up there has it in for him also terrible news for the families of the riders who were killed,it will be really sad to lose Jehonville,Belgium is about the only place left where we can do it on real roads

Not sure if its fact or not but i've heard the meeting is going to be held at the Goodyear test track.

roland has told me he should hear something from the circuit in question by the end of this month,and also said that he is finished with the organization and that jehonville this year was the last!!

I also heard or read something like that, isn't that test track the Colmar-Berg circuit?
Think it even featured in some of the Michel Vaillant comic books of the late seventies / early eighties.

For those of you who may be interested, and ‘IF’ we do go there, it’s approx 75miles further on from the Wellin turn off for Gedinne on E411

Looks like it could be a nice track?

The track looks like fun, shame its not real roads, but better than nothing i suppose.

That has got to be the ugliest bunch ever to grace sidecar racing!!!
Donny Williams, Applegate, Wal & Vince Biggs, what a shambles

How dare you Ian !!! ...I was going to say a group of fine upstanding chaps !!! but thinking about it, the ‘upstanding’ bit didn’t last for long .....! When you see Vince ask him why he didn’t make the track the following day !!!

And how he kind of gave a new meaning to "coming up smelling of Roses” !

It's now official:

Colmar-Berg will replace Jehonville in 2010!
