25yearfan Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Ernie Baker was an exciting team member in the first year of the new era track inside the stock car track Ipswich Witches back in 1969! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBBATH Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Sad to hear this, I recall Ernie riding for Hackney at Newport in 1965-66- heavy rain. Some guys just packed it in or didn't try too hard-but Ernie kept giving it his all through the entire meeting. I would guess Ernie's age was somewhere in the eighyies-anyone know?
