i went along to Wembley 81, LA 82, then to Norden 83 each time rooting for Carter to see so near yet so far each time... after Norden in 83 (with the Wimbledon coach) we went to Amsterdam for the big meeting there where we were trying to get Sanders to come and ride for Wimbledon and he actually seemed pretty keen... there had already been lots of speculation at that time anyway.

i thought Billy Sanders was more likely in 1983.... i'm sure he was one of the hot favourites

and i had such a good reply to that.... maybe just too rude for posting here :roll:

oh i'm shaking....... not

photo 2 is Moran & Jessup number 5 looks like Doug Wyer but don't know if he rode for Newcastle

er..... again

but didn't Geoff Pusey have dots on his leathers rather than the stars???

so it must be Les then? (or is it Peter?)

good job it doesn't say how many times i edited.... Ozyace saw what i said originally hence the shocked smilie

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:

So what one word WOULD you use to describe her Honey? er.....

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....

predictable is NOT a word used to describe Shazz..... :?

unfortunately Eddy Jancarz was shot by his missus i think a few years ago.... was a bit of a fan of his at Wimbledon

Maybe more threads like this will keep people's minds working during the winter months.... all it needs is for a stack of pictures. (norbold....)

but then if the Pole in pic 18 is Jancarz, then the Pole in 24 is Jancarz (unless Eddy (RIP) loaned his leathers to someone else :roll:

24... Nielsen, Morton, Jancarz 17... Penhall, Jessup

47 is already identified....

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

Gemini.... Correct :roll:

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
