Posted 05/01/09 09:25 AM Author Share Posted 05/01/09 09:25 AM Just to get the story straight, It wasn't a official he bashed, it was two of Victor Bray's crew, and we did exclude him from that meeting. The story about young Bray is true.....talk about ask for trouble eh'.......young Ben has a lot to answer for in all this.... The fracas with the JD guy put an end to their support..and I believe that SP Tools and Makita had indicated that their support was not going to continue after this season as well......add to that, his missus (Kath) wasn't impressed that his schedule of commitments was not giving him much time with family either and in the end it just all got too much..... The only bright spot, if you can call it that, is that theres going to be a lot of racecars and equipment up for sale soon....somebody's going to buy it...and Im sure their not buying it just to look at either....so the cars and the bikes will compete again sooner or later....
