I still remember his 58.2 secs track record in 1978 when he was entering the 3rd bend before the other riders in the race were still riding bend 2. Expand Great rider Scott he was a terrific rider, plough Lane suited him he conquered the County ground which maybe pushed him forward quicker as a rider .How many Americans could conquer the County ground he for me was up there with Ivan there ( maybe better what a compliment) .Ivan , Scott, Phil Crump( Snr) , Leigh Adams , Bob Kilby, Martin Ashby, were terrific at the County ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
