I have this meeting on VCD...if you would like to borrow it and burn yourself a copy e-mail me.

The 73 Final is currently for sale on ebay. Go to http://www.ebay.co.uk and do a search for speedway video...think there is still a few days left on the auction.

Falcace...I have the 73 Eng Vs Swe Final On VCD...take it you are referring to the one where Michanek puts Collins in the fence. Also have the full meeting of the 1993 title decider between the Aces and Wolves. Eng Vs Usa, there is some footage of it on a video by Mike Bennett called Stars and Stripes. This included a documentary on Scott Autrey which included footage from the 1980 test series. As for the other 2 I'm sorry I can't help.

That's a shocker seeing him at BV as he's a UTG (Used To Go).

You're right there, youngy. A Belle Vue dream team must be almost impossible. Considering you've left out Eric Langton, Frank Varey, Louis Lawson, Ove Fundin, Ron Johnston, Max Grosskreutz and Cyril Maidment. Another whole team. But then who would you leave out of your team to put any of those in??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Norbold..I put Langton and Varey into My B-Team or Colts as I would prefer to call them. I didn't count Fundin as didn't he only ride half a season for the aces. I completely forgot about Lawson, Grosskreutz and Maidment. I also missed out the Morans, Billy Hamill, Bobby Ott, Larry Ross, Les Collins, Peter Ravn....who do you leave out to put any of them in.

My Uncle, Alan Armstrong, rode at reserve for Middlesbrough in the early 80's. I think he rode for a few other clubs too. I do know he was in the Workington side that was thrased by Crayford, but he doesn't remember much about that meeting (I wonder why...maybe cos he failed to score but then again he wasn't alone). Anyhow I was just wondering did anyone have any funny stories about his speedway days or has anyone got any footage of him riding. If anyone has got footage i'd be more than happy to pay for a copy of it. Thanks

How good would that be seeing Crump Senior And Junior coming out in Heat1. Here is my all time Belle Vue Dream Team: 1. Jack Parker 2. Jason Crump 3. Peter Craven 4. Ivan Mauger 5. Peter Collins 6. Chris Morton 7. Soren Sjosten Team Manager: Alice Hart The Belle Vue Colts Team (or B-Team Would Be) 1. Alan Wilkinson 2. Jason Lyons 3. Eric Langton 4. Frank Varey 5. Ove Fundin 6. Joe Screen 7. Kenneth Bjerre Team Manager: Jack Fearnley No Doubt I've missed some out but it's so hard trying to pick a Belle Vue Dream 7.

Try http://www.belle-vue-speedway.com and start a thread on the General Speedwat discussion board. Someone on there will have the results for you.

Not a TV ad but Gary Havelock was used in billboard ads for Lucozade back in 92' after winning the world title. I have a poster of it, it shows Havvy coming out of a turn with the word GRIT at the bottom. They used a Lucozade bottle as the I......marketing genuis eh!!!!

I'll go for Gote Nordin on that one

Not one of the riders mentioned but Chris Morton currently sells ISA's/Insurance in and around the Chester area.

I have a growing collection of speedway videos ranging from 70's onwards. Some of these include Kenny Carter riding for England and in Individual meetings but not any of him riding for Halifax. The only vid of KC at Hyde Road is the full edited highlights of The 1983 Northern Riders Final, originally broadcasted by Granada, which includes a classic heat involving KC and 'The Mighty Mort'. I do have all of the Aces Of Yesteryear videos and all 5 History Of Speedway videos. For a full list e-mail me at chris@greenday79.freeserve.co.uk I also have the 83 Northern Riders, 2003 Norwegian Gp, Ipswich Vs Belle Vue (2002) and Belle Vue Vs Coventry (2003) on VCD. I'm currently putting the 2003 ELRC onto VCD as well. Hopefully I'll be putting a lot of my speedway videos onto VCD so then I can sell the videos on ebay.......keep your eyes peeled.

Don't remember match details but it was the first Belle Vue Vs Coventry match of the 1979 season. I was only a babby so can't remember much. The first meeting I remember that sticks out in my mind is the 1983 northern riders final....Belle Vue provided the first 3 with 'Mighty Mort' scoring a 15 point maximum and providing the best race of speedway i've ever seen when he came from the back to beat Kenny Carter. That was what speedway is all about....pure racing:D

I'm sure PC had a hand in making the weslake popular with his magnificent win in the 76 world final
