He did well to come back from the broken leg he sustained in the ISDT in Czecho in 1972. I remember there being a right old rigmarole to get him back over here.
I also heard that he did the Cadbury's ad in one take, telling the director where to go when he asked him to do it again.
Well I've been away most of the weekend, so I recorded the GP along with all the other 2 wheel action on offer. I watched MotoGP first, where there was some great racing and plenty of Brit success. Some good stuff in WSB too.
Then I watched SGP................................
I now need a new fast forward button on my Tivo remote. Not happy.
That's the first time I've heard or seen Perry Barr described as tight.. I thought it was specifically designed not to be, hence Ivan Mauger took a copy of the plans away with him on the opening night!
Thought it was pretty entertaining.
Shame there was only one speedway rider in it, would have been good to see Greg and/or Tai maybe too.
Bradley Smith impressed and improved as the event went on.
Would be nice to have one of these events in the UK, maybe to replace Telford.
