Plymouth Agree with top 6! Would have Wolves up a few places higher but can't really argue with most of that apart from never seen Kent or Mildenhall so have no opinion of where you put them.

Plymouth Scunthorpe is imo the best track, certainly beter than Redar Glasgow and peterborough. Not seen much of Workington yet. Brimingham, wolverhampton and Mildenhall too low, leicester, kings lynn and berwick too high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was too busy playing with my miniature replica Lars Gunnestad figurine and listening to Dukes’ fans singing ”there’s only one Andy Smith” to notice. What a stadium, though.

I saw the 1996 PLRC there and the line-up was as good as any GP I’ve ever seen. British speedway was at its peek. Chris Louis led the final until his change snapped on the last bend. Heartbreaking, but Sam Ermolenko took advantage. Here it is; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
