lynnboy Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Was just thinking does Dakota North race anymore ? I know he went home to help look after his dad. But I can't remember seeing his name in any Australian meetings this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H. Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Bit wild but a good rider. With the right guidance he probably could've gone a long way in the sport. Seems to have left the sport behind, never see him mentioned in the Australian section in the Speedway Star. Many Australians who retire still seem to pop up having a spin at a meeting every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that name and some decent chatter he could probably get some lucrative sponsorship deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyfan Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Used to think Aussie rider Strider Horton had the best name ever. Think he used to mechanic for Jason Crump too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proud panther Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Got to know Dakota when he lived with Carl Blackbird for a season, & found him to be a really nice down to earth lad. Could have been a top rider in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been a top rider in my opinion. Certainly he was our surprise packet in 2010 at reserve. Double figures at hard tracks like Sheffield helped us to get many away wins and to top the league table, only to lose it during playoffs. We had won the two cup competitions so losing the league was a bit upsetting as we were favourites to have a clean sweep. Great contribution from Dakota. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
