asturmer Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Jason Crump (2 world titles), Greg Hancock (1), Billy Hamill (1), Leigh Adams, Andreas Jonsson, Peter Karlsson, Fredrik Lingdgren all confirmed. Nicki Pedersen (1) and Hans Andersen are rumoured to be there and I'm sure Mikael Max and Ronnie Correy will be keen to appear, if not riding. Maybe even Mark Loram (1) could be riding ? With Bruce Penhall (2) and obviously Sam (1) in attendance, I was wondering how many other former world champions would be there as I believe Ivan Mauger (6) is in the country around the date of the meeting and I'm sure Gary Havelock (1) will be interested in watching if nothing else. As the season hasn't really started, maybe former Wolves legends, Ole Olsen (3) and Hans Nielsen (4) may be around and is Michael Lee (1) still hanging around tracks for big events ?. Add to that I believe Barry Briggs (4) lives in England still, could this be a date that even Tony Rickardsson (6) would be interested in viewing or paying respect ? With Bruce there, maybe Erik Gundersen (3) and Jan O Pedersen (1) would be willing to meet up again as former Heathans (Jan O wasnt at same time obviously) If, and I say IF, they were to be there, then there could be 38 times world champions at Monmore Green in one day ! Would anyone know when more World Champions have been at a meeting ? When Sam won his world title in 93 Briggs, Fundin, Knutsson, Mitchaneck were watching while Nielsen and Rickardsson were riding but they still had more titles to win later on in their careers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Barry Briggs is now living in California due to his business activities there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatface Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) He did make a comeback in 87, at Peter Collins testamonial, Sunday 29th March 1987. I remember it well, I got married the Saturday before. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...and I was there too...not really a comeback though was it?

Grachan Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 What's the betting Sam wins the race, Greg and Billy go over the line together in second with Bruce at the back pulling wheelies. It'll be just like old times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czechhero Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 What's the betting, Bruce fences Sam on the last bend, wins the meeting and it turns out he's signed for a part in "Last of the Summer Wine"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prying Eye Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Sorry to do that name dropping type of thing here but....................... He told me a couple of weeks ago that he was riding in Sam's meeting! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry to disappoint but Mark has turned the invitation down! Not to worry the line-up is still looking good!

T.N.T. Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 As Ivan Mauger is at The Peter Craven Memorial at Belle Vue the following day, I would think that he would like to put in an appearance. Sam helped David Tapp out a fw years ago with a series of meetings in Oz and I believe this was connected to Ivan in some way . . not too sure. Would be good to have Penhall and Mauger there alongside Sam and the current World #1. That would mean a World Champion from four of the last five decades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzieQ Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) Sorry to disappoint but Mark has turned the invitation down! Not to worry the line-up is still looking good! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OK, time to edit my response now as have been advised that he spoke to Sam about this and explained that he had so many invites and could only do what he could do! Sam was fine about this! Edited February 22, 2007 by SuzieQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngy105 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I take it people can turn up and pay at the turnstile for this event. I've generally had bad luck ordering tickets online so don't want to run the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
