He would be on a 5 point average though. Maybe he was being considered as a Nowak replacement or with a view to next season Edited September 20, 2023 by gmarsbar2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All their spare cash was spent on spares for their bikes rather than booze and the likes. Two of the best recommendations Jimmy Mac made. It was Sean Courtney who recommended Jason after a visit to Australia, not sure of a Jimmy Mac connection with Shane either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, Sean Courtney brought Jason to Shawfield. Shane raced the 1987 season for Newcastle, was here to start 1988 with the Diamonds when they suddenly pulled out the National League in mid-March. Shane was contacted and invited to join Tigers at that point. Jimmy Mac was manager of Berwick 1987/88. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony Briggs stacked it big style at Coventry & broke his neck, think he went on to ride a bit of grass / longtrack but was never the same, 'invented' air fence, now has a role within SGP series. Think Kym Mauger made a bit of progress with Newcastle then Glasgow but suffered bad leg break, also returned & rode bit of longtrack in NZ then drifted away, now works in film industry. Super tough following a sucessful father with a famous surname, extra kudos to those who manage it.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
