Or their tartan - Bert Harkins.

Is Hedon still undeveloped?

Not forgetting ex Pirate and Panther Rod Colquhoun.

No Poole rider in that line-up.

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.

I know that Irish tracks are debatable here, but if included then add Drogheda on 2/6/68 and Santry on 28/4/68 to Broady's list.

His statement actually said "mugged of" but didn't say what was taken.

Is it written in code? Mugged of any more what?

Havvy was a good gater.

Portsmouth ran at Copnor in 1929 Glasgow certainly ran at White City that year and maybe at other venues too. Bear in mind that there were a myriad of tracks there.

Actually, it's "The reserves for the SWC must be under 21". Get that pencil sharpened....:-)

No dirt deflectors needed, hallelujah.
