In truth, the decline was well underway before then but that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. The poor racing combined with the loss of the classic speedway roar was too much to bear.

Metaphorically. There will be no sign of it on those bland race jackets though.

Which London fans are these, the ones that didn't even support the last London tracks in sufficient numbers to prevent them from closing down? Or are you aware of thousands just waiting to visit a new track in Swindon?

Very sad news. Russ was the first rider I ever met properly, in 1978, when he came into my Dad's shop to order a cover for his yacht. He even offered to meet me at Poole ("not a bad track but too narrow") when I was next there and take me to the pits. He also gave me signed photos of him and his father Frank both of which I still have. An all round nice guy who even then was still thrilled that he'd ridden for Belle Vue. R.I.P Russ.

Nothing wow about it from where I'm looking.

Read it again - he specifically said motor sport not all sport and he is absolutely correct.

It was exposed in the NL. At this level he will make Bomber look like Todd Wiltshire!

Or their tartan - Bert Harkins.

Is Hedon still undeveloped?

Not forgetting ex Pirate and Panther Rod Colquhoun.

Brilliant ride from NKI, reminiscent of his last-gasp SWC win a couple of years ago.

Always wondered why Colin Goody was called 'Joe'.

Ken 'Pubic' Eyre

Polish is preferable to Ermolenko-ish.

Norman 'Pansy' Evans

Justin Elkins - never has a rider suffered so many engine failures.

He had to bail-off the motorbike

It's Dorset, they're all retired.

So fantastic that he didn't win a single round that year?

The final was not run due to an accident so the result was declared on points scored after 4 heats: 1. Paul Cooper 2. Eddie Kennett 3. Harland Cook

As per the title, when did methanol become the fuel of choice or indeed mandated?

I agree with Steve. Any rider already awarded a WC should not get another one the following season regardless of circumstances.

Plenty of people at the SWC did though.
