Has anyone else taken off 4 other riders in the same meeting?

Just caught up with the meeting on YouTube, what a cracker. Dudek should have gone in the semi. Nice to see Wozza hitting some form, was a tidy little rider at Leicester. Janowski a deserved winner.

Great GP but awful tv direction.

He had a really weird style and who could forget the somersault over the air fence against Newport and walking back to the pits through the crowd.

I’ve got a Leicester v Coventry tape from the early 80’s knocking around somewhere.

David Howe never rode for Leicester.

Mike Lanham ran into the back of Gordon Kennett when his bike packed up on the home straight in a Border Trophy meeting against Kings Lynn in 1983. Certainly one of the worst crashes I have seen. I remember Mike Farrell breaking his femur at some point but cannot recall the specific crash. The other one that sticks in my mind was Chris Holder at Coventry.

Douglas & Bates? Perks & Mountain?

Nicholls & Perks?

Pity the way it finished for the Sizzlers but it paved the way for Cosby to join the league with Antic Roadshow, Spill The Beans & Paul Weller as the heat leaders.

Can't remember who he rode for, was it Pete Butlers Heroes?

What happens if one of the team gets offered a place in a NDL side during the season, say as an injury replacement before the NT is completed. How would that be different to the Flint situation?

Just checked, looks like I missed that one (I was only 13). Being a Reading meeting I am disappointed that Arnie hadn't got everything memorised lol.

If I manage to get into the loft this week I will see if I have a programme for this one.
