Midgetracer Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 As Chunky writes, there used to be a lot of kiwi speedway riders. Are there any speedway tracks still operating in New Zealand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBBATH Posted February 28 Author Report Share Posted February 28 I don't think there's any speedway in NZ anymore- just a bunch of retired riders- Bob Andrews, Roy Trigg,. Tommy Sweetman, Dave Gifford etc. I think they meet up quite regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head, there was Mauger, Moore, Briggs x 2, Cribb, Gifford, Andrews, Andrew, McKee, Coombes, Timmo, Shuter, Burt, Peterson, Moulin, Tucker, Smith, Ovenden, Malskaitis, O'Neal, Brown, Shearer, Wells, Moulin, Wright, Lacrosse etc. They were followed by Goodall, Stapleton, Millen, Ross, Farquharson, Fullerton, Adlington etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
