The best thing about this meeting is that we have reached an era when the older established riders were at last put in their place. Perhaps we are at a time similar to the early 70's whereby stalwarts like the Boococks, Wilson etc. were suceeded by fresh young riders and world beaters such as Collins, Jessup, Morton, Davis and Lee. Is Chris Harris the new Peter Collins? Incidentally, did anyone see the golf tournamount which followed the speedway tonight featuring Dave Jessup

To begin with, apart from having the 'wizard of oz' on his kevlars, has Tai declared publicly his allegiance? The fact he is competing in the GB rounds and that Rye House have him declared as a British rider must have some bearing. However if it is perceived that there is any doubt in his mind all stops must be pulled to ensure he remains so. This lad is one of the most exciting talents seen in recent years from anywhere in the World. To my mind he ranks alongside Peter Collins, Dave Jessup, Billy Sanders, Michael Lee and Jason Crump from the point of view of progress made at such a young age.
