[@martynhepworthArchiveSpeedway]

@@niconicholas1464 no, health & safety put a stop to that. Think there was the Peter Craven Memorial meeting at Belle Vue in 2022 that had a 6 rider final.

Simon WIGG i Hans NIELSEN dwaj świetni zawodnicy.

I hope British Speedway 'Promoters' 😂 don't see this. They're already talking of 6 man teams (because nobody decent wants to ride here anymore). If they adopt 6 man races, they'll realise they can cut a meeting down to just 2 Heats!

[@peterhodes6708]

Good stuff as usual Martyn ! Where do you find them from !l

[@nervo6321]

I dont think i ever saw Wiggy ride a better race .

[@BarryAllenMagic]

He certainly didn't whenever he wore a Hackney race jacket.

I've been trying to work out which track in Australia this was at? Was it held at a trotting track? Great race by the way, thanks for putting this one up Martin.

[@duanedennis4809]

I think it was the old Melbourne Showgrounds track.
