i'm not a moderator...so 'sod em' i've enjoyed watching the clips... as has everyone thats seen them i'm sure.... maybe its time to go underground....

good list there Falcace... struggle to get a list like that from the GPs though and there have been a lot of races...

and all on a 'one off' track.... someone has all the secrets

all if's and but's at that final... Carter v Penhall would be worth seeing if you get a chance please Grachan i was sat just as the 2nd bend met the straight and still think Carter was unlucky... maybe he could have gone on to win??

the new #6 is Mark Courtney or Andy Campbell...possibly

and if you throw in all the ones that never got caught you would have world beaters

and on the right in the blue pullover it looks a lot like Vic White also going by that wall....Long Eaton #20 Bobby Schwartz

Jan Andersson (Swede not a Dane ) is wearing those Halvarsson leathers a few of them used to have

ok...i'll do a couple to start.. 1 Colin Cook 2 Ole Olsen 3 Jan Andersson 6 Colin Cook (says so on his fork cover but recognise his leathers) 7 Ole Olsen

not very fair Shazz...thought we weren't allowed to mention things like that

not quite got the hang of the question Trackman

maybe you'll have to ask him at the VSRA meal in March.... he says he's going this year

by his wife!!!

don't forget Egon Muller's handlebars that i said were his longtrack ones and quite a few disagreed....

think it was John Cook promoter when he was in Eastbourne juniors

it was in a recent copy of the Vintage Speedway magazine...

do it....

Cowboy Cook???

a lot of the problem is that so much time seems to be spent before each race with the riders digging up their gate positions... if you were sad enough to sit there at a meeting and time them at how long they are in the start gate vicinity, it would probably be longer than each race takes! the races last for 1 minute... how can they struggle to fit in 15 minutes of racing into a 2 hour slot??? maybe the referees need to get a push on or cut out the digging. i don't know if he still refs but i always thought Frank Ebdon was the best ref at keeping things moving.

i used to like the old 2nd halves... we would be out in the first race of the 2nd half and if we came 1st or 2nd would get a crack at the number 7 in the main match...it gave us something to aim for but normally we only got 2 maybe 3 rides per night which is not what you need at that stage. i wish i was riding now in the Conference as you are riding different tracks and conditions and different level of rider as mentioned, so obviously you're going to improve quicker. the trouble with the 2nd halves with riders from the main match is that the riders didn't really like them...they were a waste as far as some riders were concerned.

did jan holub ride at exeter in the 70s????

isn't there another one out there still riding in Rob Woffindon???

in other words a Navy boy

Lisa Whibberley actually rode at Arena around '85 or '86. the reason she was always at Iwade was because her dad bought the place i think.

does he know????? baaaaa
