TheWellBehavedWorrall 289 Posted October 3, 2023 Martin Dugard was a great rider; he’s the only one I’ve saw. He won the British GP as a wild card, didn’t he? I’m sure it was in the early 00s and at Coventry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grandfather Charlie Father Bob Uncles John and Eric Brother Martin They all rode speedway at one time or another. I believe Martin has a son who tried speedway? Isn't Brennan his step son? Martin that is. Or have I dreamt seeing pics of him helping him when he was in the juniors? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going back to Eastbourne after Oxford was a mistake in my opinion but I guess that he felt comfortable around his father/family? Gordon Kennett once said that Martin should have taken himself off to Australia for a winter tour (as many riders used to do) to improve his technique and self reliance but I guess working at the Dugard Machine Tools at Hove (?) during the winter took precedence?

Brennan mom lived with Martin Dugard as partners for many years before she sadly passed due to cancer I don't believe they ever married so strictly speaking not step son. He mentored Tom though and some I know think Tom has suffered since he moved away from the Dugards to base himself in the Midlands. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw him knock a reserve rider off after a race finished, because he had the audacity to beat him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
