Bryn Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Blowed if, despite being there with thousands of others, I can remember the year The Golden Age of Speedway meeting was staged at Coventry and would really appreciate learning it as am currently watching the video that has no commentary other than Dave Lanning's over the PA. Amongst others (!) racing that day were: Terry Betts, Ray Wilson, Norman Hunter, JL, Ken McKinlay, Sandor Levai, Anders Michanek, PC, Briggo, Ivan, Freddie Williams and, of course, Bert!

lucifer sam Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Bryn, Briggo's Golden Greats meeting was at Coventry in 1988. Pretty sure Fundin was riding as well. All the best Rob Edited February 24, 2015 by lucifer sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) ???? John Louis perhaps? No perhaps about it TWK. Thanks Rob & Norbold, - I thought it was '88 as it followed on from first meeting on the tape which was Hackney's win at Long Eaton that year. Back to Coventry and Ove was indeed there and winning the "Fabulous Fifties" section whilst the 123 in the 'Swinging Sixties' were: 1. PC 2. Anders Michanek 3. Terry Betts. I'm going to enjoy transferring my 320+ videos (have done a whole 15 so far!) to DVD and have already transferred tapes featuring action from several much missed former circuits including Hackney, Long Eaton, Canterbury, Newport, Wimbledon, St Austell, Exeter, Milton Keynes and footage of myself featuring a fair bit on the Crashes and Cock Ups tape of '95 although I can confirm I didn't crash once! And that tape also included a current promoter and others having a whole lot of fun with a supply of bubblebath!
