Grave 1 Posted August 6, 2007 many thanx, that just leaves clarification of the following please.. Andy Buck - not the same bloke Darren Slater - not the same bloke Peter Johnson - same bloke Mick Warren - not same bloke <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Will look at books when get home, but fairly sure of the above.

JC! 142 Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) many thanx, that just leaves clarification of the following please.. Alan Spencer Andy Buck Darren Slater Peter Johnson Rob Price Mick Warren Phil Ranson Richard Smith i remain hopeful..m <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Michael Warren certainly rode for hackney (89-91) and cov (92). I think he may have made an appearance as a local junior on occasions when he first tried to make it, which may explain Glasgow & Reading. Sadly passed away a few years ago.

Downseyboy 0 Posted August 8, 2007 JC - I've been away from the sport for a few years and was unaware Michael Warren had died - he must have only been in his 30's - what happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoaty 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Darren Slater - 1987 6 meets for coventry, 2000 4 meets for newport mavericks Stuart Williams 1985 1 app for Reading, 1986 Exeter, 2002 carmarthen 2003 newport (conf) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was Danny Slater who rode for the Mavericks in 2000. I think he was only 15 or 16 years old. Stuart Williams also made a very brief appearance for Reading in 2003, he rode at Newport in the M4 Trophy challenge and was then injured in the first attemt to run heat 2 of the return leg at Reading.
