As far as I know the track is still there. Maybe in a state of dis repair though. Although I think it was tidied up not so long ago

Sad to see that the starter of this thread seems to have disappeared as has his very informative website

I would have thought they were named after Carshalton

I saw a name mentioned a few days ago around that time. Turned out for Beckenham and then Tooting Tigers. Pete Jarman. Guess it is the same Pete Jarman who later turned to speedway

Bob was one of the friendliest riders I met as a youngster. Though tbh there were a lot of very friendly and patient riders. Sad to read later that he was somewhat troubled, but guess a lot of people manage to hide it away

Wasn’t Pete Smith captain at Poole ?

Here is one you misspelt all on your own. Not that I am at all bothered, but seeing as you posted

Thought you had the threads originator on ignore, so how do you know ?

We could always try to guess what comes next. Possible something on the forgotten Eaglets or Uncle Bob Harrison or maybe even the Red Herring fleet..... some popular topics

Be thankful the forum isn’t over moderated. You’d be on a life time ban long ago, the way you talk to people. Although you said you were leaving enough times, they probably thought it wasn’t necessary

Not that it has got anything to do with anything much. But I do remember going to Crystal palace to see the then brand new 'sport' of skate boarding. A few young American guys doing some tricks on what I think was part of the old racing circuit. Not the speedway one of course.

Yes indeed. I have a very interesting book on Crystal Palace. They had some of the women racing there as well at one time

I did read, his daughter is thinking of bringing out a book. If and when it comes out there is a thread for it already

Some people find it a bit painful to watch.....someone seemingly going through a bit of a mental short circuit Me ? I quite like it

I've heard that it not just on the internet.........
