  1. Thank you so much!!! Boy, that was driving me crazy; it took me a long while to get there... Oh, and did we ever get any closer to solving 90? Like many others, it looks like Sam to me, but if, as you say, you really don't know who it is, why are you so sure it's not? He doesn't look that tall, so what about Colin Cook or Guy Wilson? Do you know when it was taken? Steve
  2. I'm total agreement with speedy guy. They are all English except for Vandenberg. Steve
  3. This 193 is really bugging me... I know you're probably thinking I'm just having some wild stabs, but I want an answer! There are mixed clues in the pic. The photo is not that clear, and looks very much like a mid-to-late 70's shot, but the bib ruins all that. It is Shawn's bike. The style doesn't look familiar, although it is taken from a different angle. I know he usually used a white Bell Moto III helmet, but the leathers look very much like Zenon's... Steve
  4. I've done some research, and I've found the answer to 3: From left to right, it's Jack Young, Geoff Mardon, Gerry Hussey, and Briggo. I just found the photo in one of my scrapbooks... With 1, I would say that is Reg Trott, and possibly Jon Erskine with Sverre. I'm pretty sure that is also Sverre in 12. 5 looks very much like Wally Green, 8 is Cliff Watson, and 15 could be a young Norman Hunter. Steve
  5. 1 - Definitely Sverre Harrfeldt leading. 2 - Antonin Kasper leading, probably Les McGillivray behind. 3 - That is Briggo on the inside. I have a suspicion that is Malcolm Craven in front, and the other Wimbledon rider could be Cyril Brine or Dom Perry. 6 - Bert Roger Leading, with Jack Parker on the inside. Not sure about the guy at the back. 12 - I agree with Brian Leonard. 14 - Looks like Knutty, with Jimmy Gooch in 2nd. 16 - It's Reg Luckhurst. I'll do some more research... Steve
  6. 191 - Is that Alan Mason behind Pierre? 194 - Looks like J.D. with Leif Wahlmann 198 - Could be Alf Busk in red Steve
  7. Sorry I'm a bit late, but there are three other Austrians: Toni Pilotto Hec Haslinger Joe Weichlbauer Haslinger and Weichlbauer may have ridden under other licences, but were both Austrians. Steve
  8. No. 1 looks suspiciously like Banksy, and I would say that No. 2 was Paul Whittaker. No. 13 could well be Tony Langdon. I'll do some more research. Steve
  9. Maxine quit racing in the early 90's after a couple of injuries. She was really good on the grass, beating many of the better guys, but she never really excelled at speedway. After a year or two with the Hackney junior team. she went back solely to the grass. Strangely enough, I used to work with Maxine at Merton Council! Don't know if she's still there... Steve
