Cripes! Interesting to hear Peter Collins has rode bikes with letdown engine. He said they are very forgiving but admits they have more grip on back wheel. I think they should go back to upright engines. As much as I love speedway racing was better when I first saw it in 1979.
Do I remember Dave Perks from Cradley Heath stadium at Dudley Wood ? Never thought he was more then a reserve rider, but he certainly had a go here....
Saw you race many, many times Rod, you were always a force to be reckoned with at my home track of Weymouth, pretty sure I watched you collect a 21pt Max at the Wessex Stadium for Newcastle once, helping the Diamonds to an away win. Great memories. Thanks for watching. Martyn
Do you have any more footage from this meeting you could post please? As a Knights fan we always used to travel to Peterboro full of hope but normally left forlornly....
Cracking race. I was up in the grandstand, 4th bend. A Newcastle lass next to us cheered so much her false teeth fell out!
They were found on the ledge behind the stand!
If you've still got them can my missus have them back.

We all had our moments what I understand at the many different level of riders talent is that the all gave it 100%
Totally agree Rod, been going to speedway since 1974, still love it..
@@martynhepworthArchiveSpeedway yep it’s easy to say but I do think we had the best years not knocking today
It’s nice that the start wasn’t basically the whole race
