TonyMac Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) We would really like to interview Barry Thomas for Backtrack magazine but have been having trouble making contact with him. Understand he is now back in the Isle of Sheppey, Kent area after a spell in Wales. Can anyone please help out with a phone numnber for Thommo. Obviously, wouldn't want it revealed on here, but either a PM via the forum or email to us at editorial@retro-speedway.com would be very much appreciated. Thommo gave me, and all other Hawks' fans, so many happy memories from the 70s and 80s with his daring swoops from the back, before going on to do good things, too, for Crayford and Rye House, and it would be great to chrionicle all that he gave to the sport through the pages of our magazine. While we're about it, anyone got any favourite memories of Barry? His superb pass to split Exeter's Ivan Mauger and Scott Autrey on the last bend of the home match in 1977, to effectivelty hand the league title to White City, must be right up there for Hackney fans. If every team had a Thommo today, crowds would be double in size. Appreciate any help.

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi Tony, Thommo was at the closing meeting last season at Arena Essex, the 'Hackney' match... Will ask around but in truth guess Bryn on here may well know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
