steve roberts Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Interesting to read Martin Dugard's confession that in hindsight he felt that he should have moved to Cradley rather than Oxford in 1988. Personally I felt that he had made the right move as he couldn't but help pick up tips from the likes of Nielsen, Wigg, Cox etc. He became a master of Cowley but was perhaps left wanting to a degree on the bigger circuits which is what he was implying in his interview. His mistake, in my opinion, was moving back to Eastbourne after Oxford moved into the lower league in 1993. Also I agree with Gordon Kennett who suggested that Martin should have taken himself off to Australia to develop his technique...particularly on the larger circuits.

TonyMac Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Steve is referring in his original post to exclusive interviews Backtrack magazine did with Martin Dugard and Gordon Kennett and which are among a number of others reproduced - but with different pictures - in our new Backtracking (Vol 2) book. http://www.retro-speedway.com/page.php?141 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
