the local residents will get that closed down too.... will be a darn site noisier than the speedway and more than just 2 hours per week. but then the resident has moved now.....

and it could just turn into another place for holding a GP....... 'ackney as well as Cardiff...

terrible news....used to enjoy my fridays there..... had a lot of fun getting to and from there as well at times!!!!

Wonder how many riders will bother to go ? if Ivan can sort a couple of other meetings around the GP for the riders then they should be prepared to go, but i can see your point with some of the 'lesser' riders not really getting that option. maybe it's the reason they are only taking top 13 riders. bear in mind ivan will be paying for the riders to go over there.... but then the onus falls back on the riders as this is a WORLD championship, not European and they enter with that knowledge

nah....think i'll let someone else get it... i used all my brain power with the hats 8)

95 has to be Chris Morton when he rode at Sheffield then???

doh!!! you know i meant 1978.... beat Mildenhall to win the league (formed in 1968)

for the Canterbury fans out there i have a message from mbbunyan.... 14th October 1978 was a happy day 25 years ago today

disgusting

100 is the De'ath variety....

82...The beanie...is it Peter Carr????

and the only way we are going to get anything like it is going back to the old chestnut of standardising equipment

84.... in the background Mark Crang and Peter Carr S Moran warming his tyre 83...John Jorgensen 87...Alf Busk???? 88..Steve Bastable 90...Knudsen on the left...Troy Butler right???? 75...Alan Mason 76..Simon Wigg is the rider on the left in 79 Hans Nielsen guesting?? 78..Rick Miller, TommyKnudsen

Pirelli.... they were the only ones around at that time i expect before the Carlisle's came over and probably just before the Dunlops were being used

Scottish flag on the fork cover and the fact that he rode for Belle Vue sort of gives it away :roll:

Kenny McKinna's

that's cool.... i'm just leading everyone on until i get my memory back

nope.... i know who it is... (i'm just trying to remember that's all) dennis sigalos? or if not, is it the same Danish rider that is in pic 79?

82...Kelly Moran? 80...S Moran and possibly Bobby Schwartz 79...Ravn, Moran N Collins???

nail on head

obviously i knew the answer, but having guessed the caps correctly, i thought someone else should get in there this time.

Lance King then....

every race counted to most of the riders.... especially N Pedersen as he could intentionally lose a race so he avoided the better riders later on :evil: a big problem in this format is knowing who you will meet in your next race up front... Jason Crump just went out to win each race, where Pedersen knew he had to get in weaker races. if the format is the 16 rider, 20 heats, there is no coming 4th rather than 3rd just to avoid so-and-so as your rides are programmed and you need to get as many points as possible to get to the respective finals.

but there are people saying that Pedersen isn't the best rider in the world yet he won a GP series... so maybe there is the 'Jerzy Szczakiel Syndrome' available still even in the current format. my biggest problem with the current GP format is the gate positions. when you ride a 2nd half race, there is a box with 4 coloured balls (sorry if that got Peter excited) that gets a shake and drop into the gate positions... primitive but fair.

so how good were you then and was Jacob better than you at speedway?
