    One Club Foreign Riders?

    I was about to add Ronnie Moore who had 18 seasons at Wimbledon but it seems that he also rode for Coventry in 1974, something that I was hitherto unaware of.

    Aaargh! The singular is criterion. I'm sad enough to get stressed about such minutiae.

    Speedway Star magazines

    Sorry to be blunt but they are effectively worthless. Save him any hassle by just recycling them.

    Ditto. Mine were recycled.

    UK Speedway in Turmoil?

    Surely getting paid per point is the best incentive?
  6. And the Danes in Nicki - even braver.
  7. We always were frankly.
  8. Exceptional from Lambert.
  9. Sunday July 23rd at Owslebury near Winchester.

    UK Speedway in Turmoil?

    Obviously I was being facetious but I don't want that particular fact to be forgotten. With regard to modern 4-valvers, I don't think the number of valves per se is the issue. Weslakes and first generation Jawa 4-valves really didn't seem markedly different to the 2-valves (they sounded similar and track records were not being obliterated for instance) and still suited the tracks of the time. It's the evolution of them into the high revving laydowns that aren't suited to current tracks that sees us where we are now.

    I presume you don't mean the 4 valve Rudge in 1929?
  12. A win for Bomber, after a great scrap with Romano Hummel in the final.
  13. A wider concern would be that something called 'Nora' hardly screams dynamic and is unlikely to tempt newbies imo.

    Costa Mesa Speedway 50 Years & Still

    The current Plymouth track is only 236yards so is a better comparison. Even then, I think it still races more like an average sized track than Costa Mesa does.
  15. They don't have a venue unfortunately.
  16. Nothing at all in the SW except Cornwall. You can check fixtures here FIXTURES - Grasstrack Banter Promotions

    The most bizarre programme quiz ever?

    How did that help on week 1? They must have given an example.

    So be it then. No-one has a right to a testimonial.

    All Time Favourite Tracks?

    Ivan described it as "like riding down my hallway and turning left".

    Should the OAP discount be scrapped?

    You can choose to retire at any age.
  23. http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/years-Campaign-bring-speedway-Exeter-gains/story-27472518-detail/story.html Whatever became of Colin Hill's legacy for just this purpose?
