Look up the reserves. Kiwi. Sometimes wrongly listed as a Wimbledon rider (he was a Don's asset on a season loan to us. He rode for us after the World Final until we shut when he reverted to the Dons and rode in a couple of there end of season challenges so not a Dons rider for the WF). The difference between this chap and Woffy is that whilst Woffy rode in the 3rd Tier he was no longer riding in it when he reached the World Final (or, in this case, the GP). The chap I mention rode all season in the 3rd Division National League (except as mentioned above after the 3rd Tier's season was over).

This was long before I was born, so I know nothing about this. Appreciate the explanation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RS50 359 Posted December 13, 2020 Once needed a race to be re-run because a spectator decided to walk across the track during a race, causing a rider to take avoiding action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second best fact about the team is that we had a meeting snowed off in mid-June. This at a southern venue which rarely sees snow in January (or ever). The local paper had a picture of it, all gone within 24 hours though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
