While on the subject of IDing 80s riders, can anyone identify the riders in this here photo from Motorcycle News a few years back? Not sure why, but I think it's Lance King on the inside.

 

Sigalos-Peter Collins-Wigg-King.

 

England v USA, 2nd Test, Swindon, 1983, 58-50.

 

The powers of my anorak are particularly strong on this one, cos it was the first speedway video I ever owned and I watched it endlessly. It was a betamax too.:oops:

Nice one Falcace! I guess Chris Morton is closer than John Davis then. Ah, Betamax videos. I had loads of them. First meeting I had was the re-run of the 1981 final off World of Sport (never, said Dickie Davis, have they had so many requests before for an event to be re-shown).

I believe 49 is Rolf Gramstad

Yes that's correct Jeff. Well done. :D

Pic 45 is John Titman (white), Colin Cook (Y/B). Not sure about the "Ace" though a guess would be Emil Sova.

Spot on WATigerman. :approve:

Will bow to your knowledge Steve because it doesn't say who is 2nd. Thanks.

Jeff has got this one right - Rolf Gramstad.

is it Simmo in white in pic 43? Colin Richardson???

You'll never guess these two! :P

We're on a roll now! :D That's right. Should make No 9 a bit easier? (Or perhaps not.)

I've added your name as correct underneath the photo. :approve:

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
