  1. I was about to add Ronnie Moore who had 18 seasons at Wimbledon but it seems that he also rode for Coventry in 1974, something that I was hitherto unaware of.
  2. Aaargh! The singular is criterion. I'm sad enough to get stressed about such minutiae.
  3. Sorry to be blunt but they are effectively worthless. Save him any hassle by just recycling them.
  4. Surely getting paid per point is the best incentive?
  5. Obviously I was being facetious but I don't want that particular fact to be forgotten. With regard to modern 4-valvers, I don't think the number of valves per se is the issue. Weslakes and first generation Jawa 4-valves really didn't seem markedly different to the 2-valves (they sounded similar and track records were not being obliterated for instance) and still suited the tracks of the time. It's the evolution of them into the high revving laydowns that aren't suited to current tracks that sees us where we are now.
  6. I presume you don't mean the 4 valve Rudge in 1929?
  7. A win for Bomber, after a great scrap with Romano Hummel in the final.
  8. A wider concern would be that something called 'Nora' hardly screams dynamic and is unlikely to tempt newbies imo.
  9. The current Plymouth track is only 236yards so is a better comparison. Even then, I think it still races more like an average sized track than Costa Mesa does.
  10. Nothing at all in the SW except Cornwall. You can check fixtures here FIXTURES - Grasstrack Banter Promotions
  11. Graham Warren, Brian Crutcher (just - a few meetings in early 1960).
  12. How did that help on week 1? They must have given an example.
  13. So be it then. No-one has a right to a testimonial.
  14. Ivan described it as "like riding down my hallway and turning left".
  15. Since it doesn't run anything else now that would be a total closure surely?
