Chewbacca 653 Posted February 4, 2014 No names but any rider who is an out and out gating tart. We've all seen them. Gate first and win by 200 yards, gate last and can't get past the oppositions 17 year old no7 visiting the track for the very first time and riding a 2 valve Jawa. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waco 1,026 Posted February 4, 2014 Ivan Mauger would have won nothing under todays tape starting rules...The master of movement at the start... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted February 4, 2014 Ivan mauger. When i was a kid i hated him for his antics at the tapes. But i changed my opinion of him in 1985 when thanks to cyril maidment, i went on his farewell tour to poland with all of the riders and ivan's family. He could not have been more nicer to me and it made me feel guilty about booing him all those years ago! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ABS 231 Posted February 4, 2014 Perhaps wrong to speak ill about the dead, but it has to be the late Kenny Carter. Watching him race, he had no regard for fellow riders and engaged in truly dangerous moves, often going for "gaps" which didn't exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy Sweetman 480 Posted February 4, 2014 Ivor Brown,suppose thats obvious for Wolves fans from that era. Sure Cradley fans could name a few Wolves riders,that would come under the same category though. But one thing it did bring,and that was passion.And bucket loads of it.

He was disliked by quite a few I think. I remember one end of season meeting at Monmore when Ivor was up against Ron Mountford in some match races, and old Ron left him dumped in the safety fence big time. Great days 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
