I do hope that is true, and that's last we see of him in the sport. I will always see his time at Brandon as a "huge blot" in the history of the Bees. Wouldn't wish him on any other club either.

Moving forward slowly but surely. Big thanks to all at the Save Coventry Group for all their hard work.

It's a pity Wally Loake isn't with us now, there was a man who could " paint a picture with words "when it came to race commentary.

A very subtle way of explaining the reason for the defeat?

Plus the wonderful stadium improvements, i went there for the 1992 world final, the place looks so much better now.

Changes nothing really, report here. http://www.savecoventryspeedway.com/news.php?extend.4148.1&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

The worm is beginning to turn.!!!

Not strictly true, both Brandon & Blackbird Rd were owned by Midland Sports Stadiums. The Ochiltree family were the " front guys" but not the sole decision makers.

More likely Speedibee aka Adonis aka very probably a few more names on this forum.

Thanks for the info, i had Austin7 engines in my mind but couldn't be too sure. I saw some demo races at Brandon around that time but the racing didn't appeal that much.

That "Indy loop" at Rockingham as you describe it is almost 1.5 miles round, to fit that outside the Brandon track would have required the land from half the village. I can't imagine how you expected that might happen. The plan to build an oval around the shortened speedway circuit at brandon was only ever intended to accommodate the quirky little mini-sprint cars that Hans Kirimar promoted for a short period . It was never going to be an alternative for the Rockingham Race Track.

I hope no one is" taken in" by this rubbish.

I fine "cart dealer "too.

A common practise for Skidder it seems.

Apologies if my post was a little too subtle for you.
