Fair comment. Foxhall the same as Monmore for him I'd say but that's two tracks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foxhall the same as Monmore for him I'd say but that's two tracks Foxhall nowhere near as tight as Monmore these days. Speaking to an ex Witches rider a few weeks back, compared to the old circuit Foxhall is now “very easy to get around”. Whether that’s a good thing or bad thing from an Ipswich perspective is up for debate, but it’s a fact that a large number of riders used to be beaten before they’d even got to Foxhall and some weren’t prepared to even give it a go because of how narrow and tight it was. On the flip side you had top riders who loved it. Nielsen and Crump used to name it as their favourite track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 854 Posted June 7, 2022 Didn't Buczkowski start his British career with Reading? Smallmead wasn't exactly a big track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buczkowski and Kosciuch used to be a definite 0,0,0 at most away tracks then superb at home. Edited June 7, 2022 by Flappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have only been to Wimbourne Rd twice, when on holiday in Dorest, I'm sure I saw Panthers there one year - Bjerre is the only Panther I remember that day other than those two, I'm sure the got a 5-1 over Chris Holder in his pomp that meeting.

PhilTheAce 498 Posted June 7, 2022 Forget klindt. Teams had there chance when he was ringing around. He won’t do Uk and Sweden. Unless obviously someone gives him a deal he can’t refuse 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
