waiheke1 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Are we basing this on their performance in the BL? Or the best tanks to have ridden BL? Or best yanks in the BL era (65-90). Each of those could have quite different results. As an example, under 1 then likely Bobby schmaltz would rank ahead of jelly man. Under 2, you'd have to include Hancock. Assuming you mean 3 I'll go: Penh all S Moran Sigalos Autrey Ermolenko Would love to include Kelly Moray but couldn't justify him ahead of the above. So slot him in 6th to be followed by Boogaloo, Lance King, John Cook and Ron Preston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try Google searches to see if I can find background to their track careers. Edited June 23, 2017 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was attempting to narrow it down to the modern BL (International Record included) era discounting the pioneering years (covered in another thread) and those Americans who didn't ride in Britain like Mike Bast for example.

waiheke1 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Greg Hancock Scott Autrey Jack Milne Sam Ermolenko Billy Hamill did Hamill race in the BL? Milne didnt Hancock has just 1 and a half seasons decent list, but for the other USA thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 did Hamill race in the BL? Milne didnt Hancock has just 1 and a half seasons decent list, but for the other USA thread? I am so sorry. Aren't we being just a little pedantic here. I put the exact same List on both Threads because I thought they were in essence, the same. I've just reread the Thread Titles - I have obviously misread the Title of one of them. I will try not to do it again. BUT - I'm sure if I do that you will be the first to point it out to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Never mind though there is always someone who will put me right isn't there whka1? You are correct in that opinion TWK! In fact, there are Posters on the BSF who appear to specialise in the error correction technique. Bless them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
