| Brian Karger, on a Leigh Adams bike, prepares to go out for a spin. |
Alun Rossiter on a bike loaned from Mads Korneliussen's bike. |
It didn't take Karger long to turn on the style. Terrifically quick, he showed he's lost none of his skill. |
I spoke to his wife while he was rampaging around the track. "I don't think he'll ever grow up!" she said, smiling. |

| Rosco shows that the quick way is hugging the white line. |
Turn 4 gives plenty of grip as he powers out. |
Checking out the grip further out on turn 4, Rosco steps up a gear. |
Quite one of the nicest riders I've ever met. So polite and obliging, Mr Shawn McConnell! |

| Shawn had come across from California to take his place in the meeting. |
One of the great showmen, his one and only season at Swindon made him many friends and admirers. |
Given that his speedway is now ridden on tiny Californian tracks, he made a effort to master the wide open spaces at The Abbey. |
The style is still unique - all legs and hair! He now earns a living as a stunt rider for films and TV but he'll always be sure of a warm welcome at Swindon. |

| Steve Masters took to the track later in the session. |
Shawn McConnell ends his session with a wheelie for the benefit of those at the stadium. |
Brian Karger checks over Johnno's bike. He would use this machine in a match race against Alun Rossiter. Shame he forgot to turn on the fuel!! |
The Swindon team who took on an Australian septet in the Broadbank s benefit match.
