iris123 20,990 Posted February 23, 2020 Also thought a group of riders ( was it one from each team?) brought out a record around 1974-ish Speedway Riders United or something. Sure Bert Harkins and possibly Scott Autrey were involved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeilWatson 1,988 Posted February 23, 2020 Peterborough Panthers recorded ‘Aces of the Track’ in the 70s, (with the Graham Walker Showband I believe). I remember the discs arrived unlabelled and I sat in the speedway office licking and sticking the round red labels on the vinyl! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember going to a meeting with Shawn and Maurice Ducker about promoting the record. It must have been about making a video for it which didn't happen . A long time ago. I had a few copies knocking about for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they're in Love and enjoying life why not do something you want to do and can afford for your Children to show your Grandchildren. The singing ain't too good but they look happier than dogs or children the first time they get taken to a beach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
