lucifer sam 3,953 Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) I realise I'm biased as a contributer to the mag, but what a compelling and candid interview with Gary Guglielmi in the latest Backtrack. Read it tonight - he was completely and open honest about matters when Tony McDonald interviewed him. Edited October 15, 2019 by lucifer sam 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only see subscriptions It's subscription only - announcement here: http://retro-speedway.com/news.php?extend.93 Sadly, the current state of British Speedway and catastrophic closure of tracks such as Coventry has even had an affect on the retro magazines. I always read Backtrack cover-to-cover (well, apart from the pieces I've contributed - no need to read those!), and I would suggest the £25 subscription price is well worth it. In particular, you don't want to miss the Guglielmi interview, which is candid, revealing and very sad in places.

Midland Red 2,383 Posted October 16, 2019 I used to subscribe to Backtrack; I have always subscribed to Classic, and Vintage before that I’m afraid funds no longer allow both, and I prefer the older magazine I was hoping to purchase this edition, with postage costs, as a one-off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still offers good value in my view...I shall continue to support both "Retro" magazines. Edited October 16, 2019 by steve roberts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,790 Posted October 16, 2019 I subscribed last night for the year and clicked on issue 94 to take me to the payment page but it looks like the magazine is in batches with latest starting at 92. Anyone know if my subscription will start at 94 or 92 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure if looking forward to reading it is the right description, bearing in mind I was a big fan of Billy Sanders. Obviously since then I've learned a lot more about life etc, and Gary is as entitled to say his piece as any other ex rider who broke the law/rules, it'll certainly be an interesting read anyway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salty 2,190 Posted October 17, 2019 I'd love to read the GG interview, but sadly my copy has yet to make it's way to deepest Ulster. Anyone know when the subscription copies were sent out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
