Robbie B 262 Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Tony Could you do an item on the cameramen of speedway, the people who bring our sport to life, with their excellent pictures (Wood-Wright, Alf Weedon, Mike Patrick, Trevor Meeks, etc). And also how technology has changed the way speedway pictures are now taken, over previous years. Edited March 2, 2009 by Robbie B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robbie B 262 Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Yes Shazzybird, cameramen from all different tracks. And maybe something on the Track Announcers as well. Edited March 15, 2009 by Robbie B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It an be confusing when people have a Christian name that is usually a surname. I used to work with a guy named Smith Sellers! Hope you don't mind me correcting you. Regards, Ron.

May be worth picking up some back copies as there has been a 'Man on the Mic' series at some time, I am sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks JC, I have all the Backtrack mags, I have a look through them too see. Your right JC from issue 23 there's been 'Taking The Mic' about announcers, I really must get some new glasses.

fatface 2,554 Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) I think a piece on the whole "World of Sport" team that covered speedway so well during the 70s/80s would fit perfectly in Backtrack. I'm sure the likes of Dave Lanning and Gary Newbon would have a tale or two to tell. In fact, if you see this Tony and like it, PM me and I might be up for doing this piece for the mag.

keepturningleft 589 Posted April 12, 2009 How about a feature on the celebrity connections with speedway in the 70's, as touched on with the interview with Stewpot in the recent edition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
