What's the chance of the phrase "thriller in Malilla" being used my the commentry team at the Grand Prix

Are you saying then Crump,Pedersen,Jonsson can't ride on tracks with dirt on and if Crump and Adams ride on slick tracks week in week out don't Stead and Richardson

I think Pearson said that the ref was Milan Spinka. Is that the former Swindon rider?

Disappointing Grand Prix,gutted for Greg. Only bit that I remember was after heat 8 or 9,when Gollob beat Hampel and Millard said the Polish fans were filling in their programmes with avengance. How the hell do you fill your programme in with avengance ?

Just some random remarks i've found, made after the Slovenian GP

I was there too it was October 1979 Tormod Langli was the only Halifax rider to beat a Cradley rider (Erik Gundersen) who was at reserve then. I remember us leading Poole 35-7 after 7 heats in 1983. I think Poole managed to score 20 points though in the end.

180 Erik Gundersen,Kenny CarterSteve Baker??? 181 PC 182 Hans Nielsen,John Davis,Rick Miller 183 Kelly & Shawn 184 Andy Smith,Larry Ross,Malcolm Simmons,Phil Collins 185 Rick Miller

Not left to go at all wild guesses 165-Sam Nikolajasen & PC 171-Reg Wilson,Borje Ring & Shawn Moran 173- Bo Petersen 177-Kenny McKinna & Andy Smith 178-Shawn Moran

Don't think these have been guessed at yet 139- Martin Hagon & Phil White??? 141-PC 155-Rider in white Jeremy Doncaster

143-John Cook 144-Lance King,Bobby Schwartz,Rick Miller,Sean Diuallo,John Cook,Sam Ermolenko 145-Jan O' Pedersen 146-Les Collins & Jan Staechmann 147-John Cook 148-Chris Morton & Shawn Moran 149-Peter Collins 150-Mike Lee

121 Shawn Moran & Lillebror Johansson ????? 122 Richard Hellsen,Neil Collins,Martin Hagon 129 Colin Pratt,Jeremy Doncaster,Peter Carr,Neil Evitts,Marvyn Cox,Simon Wigg Eric Boocock.Phil Collins,Chris Morton,Neil Collins

59- Denny Pyeatt??? 62- Kelly Moran and Andrew Silver??? 65- rider on right David Bargh 66- Bruce Penhall 69- Wayne Brown & David Bargh

56- Andy Grahame,Lance King,Dennis Sigalos,Larry Ross 57- John Davis

44- rider in red Steve Baker ??? 49- rider in white Ian Stead ??? 52- Phil Crump & Kenny Carter

total guess at No4 - Eddie Ingles ???? aonther guess No6- Tony Forward ???? 9-Steve Bastable 10- Shawn Moran 13- Ole Olsen Slightly more confident about getting the last 3 correct

I remember Keith Chrisco riding the fence at Dudley wood in a test match in the early eighties and was it Middlesborough who had Donny Odom and Doug Nicol riding for them. One American who wasn't here for long but looked a decent rider was Ron Preston.

Cradley rider is definitely Bruce Penhall leading Steve Bastable

Don't know if anyone has had a go at these or not 317 Andy Smith 318 Phil Collins 319 Neil Collins 320 Kenny McKinna?

Am i the only person who thought it wasn't a great grand prix. Chris Louis was on about the wide open spaces but if anyone moved off the white line they went backwards. Surely on these permanent tracks they could make more effort to put more dirt down and we could see more than one racing line.

Crump Rickardsson Adams Gollob

1 Crump 2 Adams 3 Hancock 4 Nicholls

Thanks falcace i'll look into it

I have been given 2 racejackets i know one is the number 8 bib worn by Johnny Boulger in the 1977 Golden Hammer but the other one is a mystery. It's a white U.S.A. bib with a number 13 on the back,it has no sponsorship names on it and the number and the straps are black,we think it's from the early eighties. I know it's not much to go on but any idea as to who might have worn it would be great.

Tony Millard calls everybody by different names

I'll go for 277 Peter Carr
