I met him recently and had a quick chat about how much I love his long track races that we now have access to on KZbin.

I watched Peter most of his career and it was great when he became world speedway champion in 1976.Not only a very skilled rider but a full on racer too.........Regards Barry

Never seen long track speedway before, it is a whole new animal, amazing.

Best race I’ve ever seen. The courage of Peter Collins here to keep it all wound on when I doubt he could barely see is simply amazing. The pounding his body must have been taking from the dirt thrown up by Muller’s back wheel! It was obviously very wet & heavy.

A Classic Peter Collins race. Started well back and then just reeled Egon Muller in. You need plenty of guts to ride regular speedway, but long track is something else again. Ton up on a 60 horsepower methanol single that steers like a bicycle.

The engine that Peter Collins raced was borrowed from another German!!!! Alois Wiesboc!!! And that make the difference in this heat

@@BarryPrice1959 I'd not seen any long track performances until this video. I'm a bit familiar with short track racers (had a friend who campaigned a Jawa in N.Y. back in the '70s) but it was configured quite differently frame wise. Pretty exciting stuff with Collins letting all hang out here.

Thanks Whalesong999.......yes Longtrack is very popular in Europe, but we do not have any Longtracks in England.......Riders usually travel to Europe (France / Germany ) for longtrack racing...........and Yes Peter Collins was a great rider and was always giving 100% whether on the Speedway track or Longhtrack........Regards Barry

@BarryPrice19598 жыл бұрын
+BeachBoysRemembered Most of the Longtracks are in northern Europe and British riders like Peter Collins would ride these tracks aswell as the usual speedway discipline of the sport.........longtracks are approx 800 - 1000meters in length and the riders often reach speeds of over 100mph

Did they run speedway bikes on the half at Ascot, or was it the Grand National guys?
@mikedehooghblackflagracephotos6 жыл бұрын
Speedway bikes. I believe it was only once a year and it was the National long track championship. I caught the final one there. Even ran the sidecars. Quite a show. As far as flat trackers I don't know. I imagine they ran 'em a few times as the track would be well suited for them...
