Sure Bert Harkins and possibly Scott Autrey were involved It was a record for the Ben Fund. They called themselves "The Rivals". The record was called "Speedway" with a B-side called "Hoskins Still Rides" It was Bert Harkins, Graeme Stapleton, Peter Collins, Jim McMillan, John Louis, Scott Autrey, Dag Lovaas, Nigel Boocock, Terry Betts, Pete Smith, Martin Ashby, Malcolm Brown, George Hunter Edited February 23, 2020 by PotteringAround 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilWatson Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Peterborough Panthers recorded ‘Aces of the Track’ in the 70s, (with the Graham Walker Showband I believe). I remember the discs arrived unlabelled and I sat in the speedway office licking and sticking the round red labels on the vinyl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going to a meeting with Shawn and Maurice Ducker about promoting the record. It must have been about making a video for it which didn't happen . A long time ago. I had a few copies knocking about for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a Rooboy song if memory serves and I think the team did one when, maybe when they won the league around 2010 ish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're in Love and enjoying life why not do something you want to do and can afford for your Children to show your Grandchildren. The singing ain't too good but they look happier than dogs or children the first time they get taken to a beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
