Never seen THAT before...

And it takes just one person...

Grand Central : It was a JOKE!!!

Still moaning, I see? HOW DARE YOU question Phil Morris?

Well, there is a well-known team photo with Chris Harrison and Ron Bagley in it (with Mountford, Lightfoot, Boocock, France, and Cottrell). That was a photo I knew as kid, and I still have it. You can check out out on the Retro Speedway website.

As far as I know, they are both still with us. Rick is 83, and Jim is 87.

Just exactly how do you "prepare" concrete for racing?

Really? Go find a mirror...

Can I just say that there are a lot of miserable old gits on here???

Glad you noticed!

You have, apparently...

Probably more dirt with the dancing...

Stand up, then...

Why? Surely you feel that the banter is better than the racing?

Yeah, you see photos of that track surface and you KNOW it's Landshut!

I've always felt he is very under-rated...

Exactly. No different to the old World Team Cup (Bulgaria and the Netherlands trying to qualify) or World Pairs (Yugoslavia in the final).

Think about it, though.There are six standout nations in speedway at the moment; GB, Australia, Poland, Russia, Sweden, and Denmark. GB are seeded to the final, which leaves three in one semi, and two in the other. Had Laguta and Sayfutdinov been riding tonight, that would have been a little different, but it's not like we have a dozen nations battling it out at the top...

Luck of the draw, perhaps?

The standard of rider seems a little more equal today, so that should help...

So, it's not just me that thought that? Thanks...

They also said the meeting was at "Duagavpils", wherever that may be...

Run off for third...

Madsen really looks like he's never been on a bike before...

Wilbur Lamoreaux ran a motorcycle shop in Glendale.
