If memory serves me right, Boston actually had sea shells on the track - can you confirm honey? After all I'm sure you must have inspected the track closer than your average fan. ;-)
Sorry mate, but seriously, do you remember the shells :?:
something like that has been mentioned before but i can't say i noticed...
only ridden there once and i had 2 rides. 1987 i went up as no8 for Canterbury and just got to ride against their top 2nd halfers.
first race i led for 3 and 3 quarter laps when my plug cap came off, and in my 2nd race it was a tapes to flag win for me.... so no, i didn't get that close a look at the track :evil:
i have a couple of pictures taken at Boston... they're of the start/finish line with the chequered flag showing....
oh, and forgot to mention.... i'm going over the line first
Boston was a clone of Kings Lynn in every way... imagine having 2 great tracks like that in the same league now....
maybe you need to speak to someone that was groundsman at the stadium in the 60s and hung around with all the riders....
come on dad... about time you posted
no 9 is Penhall inside Carter
no 15 looks like Kelly Moran leading Carter
no 5 is the same crash as 43 at Wimbledon
21 is possibly Mike Lee, Jan Andersson, Penhall, Gundersen
24 is Nielsen in front, possibly Morton and Jancarz behind
23...Muller, Gundersen, Crump, Stancl
pic 41 looks like Jessup
is it Simmo in white in pic 43?
picture 47... possibly Bo Petersen (he looks tall) in front of John Davis
48 is Doug Wyer (going by the tassles on the leathers)
49 looks like a Leicester rider going by the jersey (red with yellow stripes)
51 is Puff Daddy
i used to recognise riders by the leathers and they looked like PC's....never mind... and i was there too!!!
should have guessed really as PC only scored about 4 or 5 points...
