I think they were called "monkey masks" i once bought one off taffy owen in 1976 for £4.95.wish i had kept it, strange u can look at pics from.then and know who the rider is buy the marks on the mask which covered some air holes these days with full face helmets they all look the same !

Good of them to water the track !

It used to be green light then a gap up to 5 secs to release the tapes back to bad old days of jump starts then.

So what are the rule changes on the starts this year ?

Tough start home and away to glasgow !

With ty riding at lynn as well this year do they split the air fare , just a thought !

I saw jimmy arrive at derwent park driving the fans bus in 1987 drive the tractor round run the meeting then drive the bus back,the fans at glasgow have alot to thank him for,later spoke to him when he was in a wheelchair at glasgow still had a big smile on his face.rip jim.

Have said before but if i owned a big company and he came knocking he wouldnt get over the front door he looks awful with those tattoos ,would u want an image like that representing your company .

I remember going in 2001 with the comets great racing watching mick powell go round les collins on turns 3 and 4 not many done that to les,last few visits not so good just gate ride a couple yds of the fence and u won it .

No look at footballs premier league

In time he will be the package the lad is a natural ,laid back style on a bike given time i think he will be one hell of rider .

I think kyle saying he wanted to stay at sheffield is a refusal to go to workington,sheffield have simply played the waiting game and its worked. Once a rider wants fo stay at a club it should be up to said club to buy his contract, that might stop riders switching to often .

U must be a money men fan will bet u £100 for any charity u like we can stuff u at derwent park u game to take it on ?

Cant wait to prove u wrong

Sheffield are just taking laura for a ride howarth can sign in march if no agrement on price is agreed and they will pay less than comets want after appeal so its a win win for them,2 teams want him yet no one wants to pay for him.

That is one good solid line up now its up to us fans to let everyone know in the county what a good team and racing we have well done laura and team .

Great news now if only craig cook could be persuaded where his bread and butter comes from we could be winners . I wish him all the best in the grand prix its just the cost that will beat him .

Apart from were talking to riders what can they say,u cant expect them to name riders who they are talking to as it might tip off other clubs. As for howarth its a no win situation he dont wont to come us sheffield just sit and wait for the march deadline to sign and get him half of what we wont to sell him with volves happy to pay loan fee to us or sheffield.

I can not understand why craig isnt riding in our league this year ,its money for old rope for him ,he could walk to the stadium from home why bother with poland yes the money is alot better but one bad meeting and he wont be used i think he making a big mistake not riding the championship.

U going to stand at the entrance and say that to all u question the decision my heart bleeds for all u mean spirited lot who doesnt think its wrong.

How long is "latest news" before it becomes old news ?

Looking at some of the teams being declared in our league with no double up to worry about its going to finish some teams.certain clubs have pleaded poverty for a while and can sign riders who wont be cheap and glasgows win at any cost attitude will be the ruin of the league.its the final nail for some i fear.

I think the fact that they are charging oap's.extra must mean they see it as the best way to get extra money so that would mean oap,s are.a large part of the crowd how many will decide not to pay the extra and stay at home .

Sad day when when we cant offer some.discount for older fans to get there weekly fix and with all due respect mance and scb as jim royle would say your talking through your a**e.
