I'm total agreement with speedy guy. They are all English except for Vandenberg. Steve

This 193 is really bugging me... I know you're probably thinking I'm just having some wild stabs, but I want an answer! There are mixed clues in the pic. The photo is not that clear, and looks very much like a mid-to-late 70's shot, but the bib ruins all that. It is Shawn's bike. The style doesn't look familiar, although it is taken from a different angle. I know he usually used a white Bell Moto III helmet, but the leathers look very much like Zenon's... Steve

193 - Mark Fiora? Steve

I've done some research, and I've found the answer to 3: From left to right, it's Jack Young, Geoff Mardon, Gerry Hussey, and Briggo. I just found the photo in one of my scrapbooks... With 1, I would say that is Reg Trott, and possibly Jon Erskine with Sverre. I'm pretty sure that is also Sverre in 12. 5 looks very much like Wally Green, 8 is Cliff Watson, and 15 could be a young Norman Hunter. Steve

1 - Definitely Sverre Harrfeldt leading. 2 - Antonin Kasper leading, probably Les McGillivray behind. 3 - That is Briggo on the inside. I have a suspicion that is Malcolm Craven in front, and the other Wimbledon rider could be Cyril Brine or Dom Perry. 6 - Bert Roger Leading, with Jack Parker on the inside. Not sure about the guy at the back. 12 - I agree with Brian Leonard. 14 - Looks like Knutty, with Jimmy Gooch in 2nd. 16 - It's Reg Luckhurst. I'll do some more research... Steve

191 - Is that Alan Mason behind Pierre? 194 - Looks like J.D. with Leif Wahlmann 198 - Could be Alf Busk in red Steve

Sorry I'm a bit late, but there are three other Austrians: Toni Pilotto Hec Haslinger Joe Weichlbauer Haslinger and Weichlbauer may have ridden under other licences, but were both Austrians. Steve

No. 1 looks suspiciously like Banksy, and I would say that No. 2 was Paul Whittaker. No. 13 could well be Tony Langdon. I'll do some more research. Steve

Maxine quit racing in the early 90's after a couple of injuries. She was really good on the grass, beating many of the better guys, but she never really excelled at speedway. After a year or two with the Hackney junior team. she went back solely to the grass. Strangely enough, I used to work with Maxine at Merton Council! Don't know if she's still there... Steve
