TonyMac Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Our timeless interview with Ipswich legend Tony Davey, a key member of those first great Ipswich teams of the 70s, features in this week's (w/e May 1) Speedway Star. You couldn't wish to meet a more humble former star rider than the ever-popular 'Shrimp', who happily lived in the shadow of Louis and Sanders at Foxhall. Who knows what he could have achieved but for three serious injuries that cut short his promising career. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted May 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 NICE informative interview with World Champion Bartosz Zmarzlik this week in SS conducted in his native Poland by our correspondent there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmo Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 I know that I've already praised the Speedway Star to way beyond infinity, but I MUST praise again. I have every Speedway Star since 1959, and quite a few before, and throughout those 61-years, I've never seen a better publication than what they are producing at this moment in time. PHILIP RISING, ANDY SKEELS, PAUL BURBIDGE, MICK SMITH, JEFF DAVIES along with DAVE FAIRBROTHER, take a bow, because you deserve it, you are all a credit to your profession. So once again, a MASSIVE thanks from the bottom of my heart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Another great issue today, especially the saga of getting riders out to Rovno in 1991. It's the perfect example of very welcome 'filler'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillwhitewasmad Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Personally think the star has become a better value magazine during these times. Love the stars of tomorrow pieces keep up the good work 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) The current issues remind us that speedway has a huge story to tell, even if there's nothing happening right now. The success of Backtrack, I suspect, is not just nostalgia, but the previously unwritten back stories - why and how things happened behind the scenes. These are things that the internet cannot provide as easily as it can provide results but along with speculation and gossip often posing as news. Sometimes it needs expert hands to establish and make sense of what is or has actually been happening and that's worth paying for.

I read it bit by bit to get a speedway fix every day. Stunning effort from you all a SS. Good idea that. My way is to read it twice. Then i bag a big bundle every few months. Whilst doing that i have another flick through. Suppose i get my moneys worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
