iris123 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Watching the 3 time German champ,Mirko Wolter(Sheffield + Trelawny) today,got me wondering He had his first official meeting back in 1989 as a 13 year old,according to wiki,at least.So I was wondering which other riders currently in a league also started their career back in the 80s?

erinil1 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Is Billy Hamill still competing back in the States? If he is he´s going to be on that list. Rune Holta perhaps also could be on that list? In 1989 he turned 16 and perhaps then took part in some official competition in Norway? And also is anyone from the older Hungarian team still active? I'm thinking of guys like Z Adorjan and S Tihanyi who both are born in the 1960s and competed at an international level until atleast a couple of years ago. Also Norbert Magosi could be on this list. Atleast the first two competed at the international stage for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25yearfan Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Scotty Nicholls started junior grasstrack in the mid 80's and was riding after the meeting at Ipswich around 87/88! Jon Armstrong would of probably started around the same time I reckon! Paul Hurry the same again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
