Brilliant! Stuffed Holder who should have been excluded in my opinion!

...and they'll be then expecting the Government to air lift them out of Wales. I wished to see a play in York (April) at the local theatre but resisted the temptation in buying tickets because it was becoming obvious how things were developing regarding public gatherings and/or attractions back in February/early March...certainly to me anyway....despite reassurance from the ticketing office that monies would be re-funded in the event of a cancellation.

I think it superb that there are some out there keeping the history and exact detailing of the sport alive. Keep it up!

Fabulous...I was there! Speedway attracts a lot of criticism and, yes, many races were/are won for the gate (and I'm sure that the same applies today) but when the package is right what a sport! I always used to go home happy if I saw one superlative race in a meeting amongst some pretty standard fare which often depended on any particular track and surface which encouraged/discouraged good racing...not all tracks were so blessed due to the restrictive measures in place and still is the case today I'm sure. Keep the clips coming!

Hasse Holmkvist and Hasse Holmqvist.

Fabulous meeting that had everything in my opinion.

Superb race again...speedway at its very best! This is the best thread by far on the BSF!

Brilliant ride by John Cook...often overlooked but was as exciting as anyone before or since in his prime.

I have no technical/mechanical expertise but it may have someting to do with differing tyre widths and/or compounds/up right compared to lay down engines etc? Interesting observation all the same.

A great stylist but never fullfilled his true potential in my view allowing his off-track antics to get in the way.

...and yet another great race! Different era but just as spectacular.

Brilliant stuff again!

Many thanks!

That's it!

was his real name something Humphreys?

Another great race! Shame about his tarnished image but I guess he's not the only one and no doubt the last.

One of the reasons why I was never a fan of Play-Offs deciding who ends up as Champions.

Fabulous stuff!

I'm the first to admit that there is a lot of dull stuff but when one witneses a race of the calibre one has seen on this thread it emphasises that there is no sport like speedway when conditions are right...whatever the era.

Brilliant!

Any chance sourcing it?

Best thread on the BSF in my opinion with all this doom and gloom surrounding us! Keep them coming!

Utterly brilliant! Speedway at its best!

I agree that Billy was the better rider on the international stage (Individual & Pairs) but rated Phil the better of the two at domestic level. Never saw Doyle or Holder ride and unfortunately I am only aware of Ward's off track 'activities'.

Fabulous stuff in a meeting that had many dramas!
