howling gorgon Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Tommy K was some talent, got to be up there with the best never to have won a world title & an absolute stalwart for the Bees Hopeless at wheelies though! I remember him celebrating a win at Swindon on one wheel, completely overdoing it and falling off the back. I think I've got it hiding away somewhere. I'll have to dig it out. It even made 'What happened next?' on Question of Sport! Yup, did it at Brandon aswell, over the line, as he was still attached to his bike at the time he still got the 3 points, I think he gave them up after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splatty Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 are any of you aware of 'newsgroups'?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatface Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 (edited) 1984 World Team Cup. Heat 15 - USA need to win the heat to set up a last heat decider. If Denmark win the heat they are champions. Bobby Schwartz and Tommy Knudsen. Good race, but Boogaloo was really asking for that to happen. Don't suppose you could do us a favour Grachan and dig out Muller v Morton v Gundersen from the 1981 World Team Cup Final - now that's racing.

Just before my time with a video unfortunately - the first thing I recorded was the repeat of the 81 World Final which I think was after the season ended.

Grachan Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Heat 20 of the 1985 World Final, with Erik Gundersen needing to win to get into a run-off against Hans Neilsen and Sam Ermolenko. Shawn Moran and Lance King obviously want to try and keep Gundersen out to help Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 I'm continually impressed with the quality of the racing you have on tape Grachan That has to be just about the best outside pass you would ever want to see with Gundersen going from third to first in half a lap or so. Brilliant stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splatty Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 superb pass nice one Grachan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark cox Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Cheers for that one! It was a real roller-coaster of a meeting that one, with Erik only getting a third place in his first ride, and then needing to win his last to set up a run-off for the title. Its probably my favourite race of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hats off to you and the winner of this race (don't want to spoil it for anyone!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 I'm just wondering if my PC is acting weird Grachan. Usually it's an entire race but this time I only get a lap and a half. Is it me ? I have had some PC problems lately and I'm thinking it might be !!

Grachan Posted February 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Just tried it on mine and it's okay. Are you sure you haven't finally used up all that disk space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Thanks Grachan. Just tried again and is ok this time. I've had a trojan that I had all sorts of bother with and I was downloading your clip while I was getting rid of the trojan and somehow I think the clip got butchered in the process. All sorted now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 what a race....and... what a commentator A legend indeed. Some of my favourites Lanningisms: "Poetry on Wheels" - Peter Collins "Heat Seeking Missile" - Kenny Carter "Applecart Merchant" - Egon Muller Sometimes, I didn't know what he was on about, but he always brought colour to every broadcast. Kenny Carter was being interviewed by Gary (Somebody) on World of Sport. The conversation went like this. Gary" I understand you have new baby Kenny what you going to call it." KC "Well Gary i was thinking of calling it after you." Gary "Really Thats nice he said smileing. Kc Thats right were calling him Wally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted March 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Yes folks, this is it - the last one. The British Speedway Season is now back, and Swindon are where they belong once more, in the top flight. Hopefully the racing will be as good as this race between Jimmy Nilsen and Jeremy Doncaster in 1988. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
