You literally quoted a link to the website in your post. Why don't you just click on it and have a look? If you did, you'd see that Danny Ayres has been added. And before you make any crass comments, I'd point out that Danny was a good friend of many on this website. Myself included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Danny Ayres sadly and radically died there was much comment regarding it on the BSF and elsewhere like FACEBOOK for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know many riders from the last 50 years, and you admit that you don't follow the sport now. Why should I think you would know someone like Danny Ayres?

Lefty Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Had a look at the in memorium site and paused to reflect on the riders that I had seen and had so sadly been robbed of a full journey in life. Some very very close to home. I then took a further reflective look at the 'In Memory' part of the speedwaybikes.com site for the USA speedway people & riders, in particularly those that I've met on numerous trips to the States from 1982 onwards. RIP to you all. I like to think that no one is ever fully forgotten. Thank you for these web sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
