The White Knight 9,039 Posted June 9, 2017 Tony Clarke maybe ? was it a russian .? I think you might be right Sidney. There is something about that at the back of my mind. Back in the Sixties or Seventies I think. This from this Forum back in 2008. Hope this helps Sidney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 10, 2017 As I recall, some years ago 'Classic Speedway' magazine featured an interview with Tony Clarke in which he gave an explanation as to his involvement with the matter of the Russian speedway bikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
