TonyMac Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Just to let all know that we've got the Past Riders Today picture gallery up and running today, with more than 200 images of former riders, promoters, etc, that we've photographed since Backtrack magazine started in 2004, now uploaded to our Retro Speedway site. Some old favourites will be instantly recogniseable, but others will possibly amaze you at how they've turned out after all these years! Sadly, one or two have since passed away. See how many you can recognise without looking at their names first....! Click on the link below and then go to 'Gallery' from the main menu at the top of the Home Page. http://www.retro-speedway.com Please let us know what you think....

WATigerman Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) I believe Sheffield picture 76-1 is in fact Reg Wilson and not Arnie Haley. I seem to recall Reg had some red and white leathers like these around the time ('76). Also his right arm seems to bear the name "Bufton", being Reg's long time sponsor Bufton Electrics. I also think Arnie missed most of the '76 season after a horror smash at Owlerton against Belle Vue, one of the nastiest looking smashes I can recall seeing.

Brian L Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'd take Tim Hunt to beat Anders Michanek in a bike race! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunky Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I believe Sheffield picture 76-1 is in fact Reg Wilson and not Arnie Haley. I agree; I'd definitely say it was Reg Wilson. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
