Gavan Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Given he said he raced against mark loram I would be very surprised if he was racing in 1972. Rob Tilbury and Robbie fuller are two "Roberts" from lorams era if Robert is his name it certainly isn't Rob Tilbury! Him and Mark were good buddies and even went to South Africa back in the late 80's with Mark and Chris Louis and the Tatums. Robert Ledwith? I'm guessing 72 is his year of birth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 How about you putting £5k on a table and I will match it, if I can't prove i have raced against at least 5 world champions then my £5k would go to tai woffindens great ormand street charity when I show you I have then your £5k goes to that charity. I am up for it are you ? Let's see who is full of crap ? Come on Niamh lets see you take the challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 See the engines of the top 3 at Krsko were all tested & found to be legal. Not really surprising, is it? No not surprising at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedwaysliders Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I thought 72 for year of birth too, but couldn't think of any riders that matched Rob ledwith was 71 As this person seems to have strong links in the midlands,like Birmingham,coventry leicester,and also a bit further north with sheffield!!,maybe its Robert Homer!!?

RobMcCaffery Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I thought 72 for year of birth too, but couldn't think of any riders that matched Rob ledwith was 71 72 could be the I.Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 And Midlands location would also seem to fit? Would the ten meetings he rode be enough to tally with Robert72s posts? And did rob homer mechanic for two world champs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 And the dislike of tai therefore is the jealousy of a 2 pt Brit who didn't make it as opposed to a rider who is world champ? (Note: a 2 pt average is 2 more than I would achieve so not meaning to denigrate Mr Homer s record) Who the f**k is Rob Homer?Rode a total of 10 meetings for Coventry/Sheffield in late 80s early 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazeaway Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Is an oversized engine the only way to cheat in speedway then?

Star Lady Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 The 1972 fits with Rob Homer My first reactions was Who? Having googled him I'm not much wiser.

SCB Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Is an oversized engine the only way to cheat in speedway then? Genuine question from someone who hasn't spannered for World Champions or ridden against any... Dodgy tyres, bigger carbs, dodgy fuel, bigger holes in silencers. And thats just me as a non-speedway person. Wasn't Smolis dodgy ignition system deemed illegal eventually and look how much that transformed him, EL reserve to GP winner in 12 months! Back to where he was before he started with it again now it's been banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Appleby Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 (Note: a 2 pt average is 2 more than I would achieve so not meaning to denigrate Mr Homer s record) Everyone used to get a 2 point average just for turning up.

waiheke1 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Everyone used to get a 2 point average just for turning up.Mark Crang certainly didn't manage a 2 pt average for the aces...That said Homer only managed a 2 pt average in his best season well short in the other two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's put it this way, I wouldn't put him in the expert witness category. I guess you wouldn't put rob lyon in the expert category either ? Mark Crang certainly didn't manage a 2 pt average for the aces... That said Homer only managed a 2 pt average in his best season well short in the other two What was your average again ?
