Midgetracer 5 Posted February 28 As Chunky writes, there used to be a lot of kiwi speedway riders. Are there any speedway tracks still operating in New Zealand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOBBATH 467 Posted February 28 I don't think there's any speedway in NZ anymore- just a bunch of retired riders- Bob Andrews, Roy Trigg,. Tommy Sweetman, Dave Gifford etc. I think they meet up quite regularly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommy Sweetman, Dave Gifford etc. I think they meet up quite regularly. Well, look at the 60's/early 70's, and the amount in Britain. Off the top of my head, there was Mauger, Moore, Briggs x 2, Cribb, Gifford, Andrews, Andrew, McKee, Coombes, Timmo, Shuter, Burt, Peterson, Moulin, Tucker, Smith, Ovenden, Malskaitis, O'Neal, Brown, Shearer, Wells, Moulin, Wright, Lacrosse etc. They were followed by Goodall, Stapleton, Millen, Ross, Farquharson, Fullerton, Adlington etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
