Never gets old. Unlike me at 77.

Penhall had such an awkward straight bike corner entry style at dudley wood, almost gliding in closed throttle, exciting to watch..... great racing, nice to see plenty of shale and bumps back then too 👏🏻

[@mandynixon2258]

it worked for him

I was at this meeting with my dad . Penhall had the golden helmet for a while and at least one time it was in his van or his car and a load of us kids went flocking to see it . Bit of a hazy memory as i was either 7 or 8

Prefer the racing on the upright engine bikes, miss the old days nothing better than evening speedway racing.

I'd love to watch the epic Bo Petersen & Chris Morton dead-heat match race at Hackney again.

As I recall Bruce lost the golden helmet to Kenny ,then Shawn took the helmet of Kenny.

[@nervo6321]

Do you have the footage of when Michael Lee smoked Carter in the golden helmet in 1983 around Halifax shattering the track record.....

[@martynhepworthArchiveSpeedway]

Nope, sorry (wish I had)

[@tomwilliams4885]

Speedway is awesome. Check out Auburn. Friday nights. All summer long. Great little bull ring.

Hi

[@jessebelanger9753]

I wish Bruce wouldn't have retired early. He really wasn't a great actor, but you can't blame him I guess.
