@@Kurt_Steiner did you see Tommy race while he was at Dons? I was 10 with my Mum so dont remember him. (I remember Soren Sjosten very well who was racing at this event...just remembering Chris Pusey, Alan Wiko, Paul Tyrer too) then did another stint with my mates at 14. Tommy was already dead by then. Dont remember Collins from when i was 10 either. It was all about Mauger although he moved to Exeter. I remember Wilko breaking his back

Speedway as I remembered it...when GB/England ruled the world and riders just rolled up to the tapes and waited for them to go up (or took a chance at anticipating them). None of this ridiculous two minutes of gardening you get now before every race and so, so many delays for stoppages. Yes, it has become so much more professional over the last 50 years, but it has also lost a lot of its rough and ready charm along the way. That's my view anyway.
