Truely brave performance from PC, and to think he went so cl;ose to pulling off another victory, sometimes makes me wonder if had have won that night would it have given him the push to even more titles.

I remember him well start out at Belle Vue, I think but ended his career at Cradley Heath if I remember rightly.

Is Hautamki, any relation to the rider who rode in the British League in the 70's Pekka.

Yeah and he was supposed to be his best friend as well.

But he was absolutely wild though was he not.

Thanks Mate.

Cheers Mate that is brilliant.

Cheers Third MAN

Well done to the Paines, and anybody else who is connected with this venture, I really hope that it is a success.

Thanks everbody for the info.

Could anybody help me, could you please tell me where the ill fated Doncaster speedway track was situated in Doncaster, and who were the promoters and the riders who rode there.

I nerver saw Clive Featherby, or should I say that I am too young to remember him, but I know that he tells me that Clive was a rider that never took no prisoners.

That is quite a decent team Shazzy.

I remember Alan Molyneaux riding for Sheffield, really surprised at the time as the track was not suited to him, and he had never gone that well at Sheffield. He started out really poor, and seemed to fallout with the then promoter Ray Glover, but towards the end of the season he was producing some really fantastic performances.

Yes they mentioned it in the Speedway Star, which I found very interesting.

Gives hope to the likes of Billy Legg, Nick Simmons and Benji Compton and may others.

I thought so, I believe that this was on his first visit to this country, and then he returned home after that. Wonder if that was the only time he was ever dropped from a side.

Just a thought did not Ivan Mauager ride for Rye House when he first came over to this country.

Hughie Sanders, Karl Fiala, Peter Tarrent and Bob Cooper.

I don't know about Dave Mason, but the others were part of a title winning team.

Amazed no Bobby Garrad, Kevin Smith, Ted Hubbard or even Ashley Pullen.

My God GG is a pastor!!!!

Okay Mac I believe you thousands would'nt.

I do beieve he did, just wonder what he is doing now, I remember him as a bit of a wildman of the track.

Does anybody remember what ever became of Gary.
