Sad news today as Colin Pratt as sadly passed away after a battle with illness. 

 

Great manager/promoter and a great guy that will be missed around the Midlands tracks and any track for that matter. 

 

Thoughts go to his family and friends

Sad news indeed. Rider, team manager, promoter, Very few people have fulfilled every role, so successfully. Super bloke

Friendly guy and very good rider. Spoke to him at Swindon few years ago recalling the time in 1963 when he beat Bjorn Knutson at New Cross riding for PL Select against Southampton.

Survived the terrible crash in Belgium that decimated West Ham.

R.I.P.

When I started following the sport 51 years ago  Colin was already a big name in the sport (and would still have been riding if it wasn't for Lokeren). That's a hell of a long time to be a major figure in speedway. My condolences to friends and family.
