Brad Smith

Time for the egos to be rested promotors. Brad Smith should be racing at all Tassie tracks!! The sport should come first and the public want to see Brad race! Get over it, and let the guy race!

p.s. well done Jarrod, awesome win, good luck rest of season.

Well said. But I'm afraid it falls on deaf ears as the promoters and officials in question think they're above the system.
Reality will bite though, and when it does it will bite HARD!

Latrobe Speedway, You've Gotta be kidding me....just read entry list for 2010 Grand prix and surprise surpise no Brad Smith!
If this is still an invitation only event, it is total load of crap! The reputation of such an event is compromised by picking and choosing certain drivers over others. It really is a joke! No dis respect to the following entrants: Jetson, Gallagher, Aylett, Herbert, Dawkins, Williams, Manion, Blazely, Hopkins & Hanford.....but Brad is proven race winner, top 10 national series campaigner and crowd drawcard and should be one of first invited! Brad is not the first driver "blacklisted", seems that the Latrobe managment are spoil little brats who like it all their own way! Anyway, good luck to all those drivers "lucky" enough to be invited.....as long as you never speak out against these promoters your invite will be in the mail again next year.

My pick for the race #2 - Jarrod Harper! Smoke 'em "J-rod"and show em all how it's done!

Even more interesting is will Brad be able to contest next years Aus title at Latrobe? It would be even more contencious if he become A1 this year. He has performed well over this weekend at where the Aussie title is. Needs to be fixed by the governing bodies for the benifit of nthe sport not individuals personal agenda.

I thought I read somewhere where the ban was only in place for 2 years ! ? Does Brad even know ???

I would doubt if anyone knows, depends on how they are feeling. I wish we could find out and get it settled.

track promoters can not ban someone from running a national title at their track

long story Jarrod will tell you next time i see you

Hi all & yes i'm too pissed off with the carrying on over a person who puts bums on seats & money in their pockets for the sake of speedway....ok if a spectator was to speak out are the bored members going to ban them..I did spell that on purpose ....No of coarse they can't ...I think that the MOB should pull their heads in & look after the driver in I hope common sence prevails & it will happen shortly....Go Brad Smith.....well done on all of which you have achieved..

I heard on the grapevine that Brad will be allowed to race again next year, all to be forgiven.
Whether or not Brad chooses to is aother thing. And to be quite honest I wouldn't blame Brad if he didn't bother!
