A baby slip over. I did much better than that. In New Zealand I use to race speedway cars (midgets) when I gave that up I became a flag marshell. Tracks are clay with a good bit of banking. I was walking the track between races, the water truck went past, I stepped onto the wet clay and assed-up so fast the the first thing to hit the track was the back of my head. I lay there having a wee sleep of half a minute til the medics helped me up.

Hard man. Great competitor.

Watching this in 2024.......was anybody else out there shouting 'come on Pete,come on Pete' like they were watching it live?

Looked a nasty fall, hope he's ok

Another joke of a referee

What a shame there's no footage of the 1980 meeting from the week after weasel Terry Chandler sacked our beloved Simmo - I can still see that bag of flour flying through the air & exploding on his smart suit during the parade,the way he carried on walking looking like frosty the showman was hilarious.

My first meeting,

Hello, I'm searching ice-races with french guys between 1978 and 1990. I can share my own video with you (Quarter-final wc madonna di campliglio 1990) Can you send me message ?

Thought might interest fylan

Ole was always great to watch and such a nice guy too.

The marvellous Edwin Overland on commentary

They scrapped it at the next AGM because reports on it stated nothing much changed in the final 2 laps 🙂

Gundersun cos he rode for Cradley, Gollob cos he was the most entertaining or Collins cos he gave me his autograph and is English. There all fantastic just like speedway. Up the Boro Bears

Amazing Mauger was still racing after his crash and broken ankle the previous year, and he had been talking of retiring before then.

Best world final ever

I grew up going to Costa Mesa speedway. Front box.

❤Bill Gill❤️

Great days.

That was a really good race

Bylem na tych zawodach. Stadion byl tak przepełniony, że nie było gdzie igły wsadzić.

Dave Jessup what lovely 👦

Poor Bruce hit with some challenging questions at the beginning, he handled it well. True pro 👍

This video really shows the speed and daring necessary to compete in longtrack racing.

Kempretan😅

I can still hear my father cursing niemi now. Good rider but rarely made a pass 😂

The clip at Coventry with Gollob and the yellow lights: Those lights were around the track for use by the stock cars that also raced at Coventry to signal caution periods, and I believe they were also used to signal the two minute warning for speedway heats (as opposed to just one light at the start line and one in the pits). I can only assume the referee left the two minute warning on when the race started.

Why did England have the Union flag on their vests?

Damn that guy is/would be 89 years old now

Worked for penhall company in 2003 to 2013 as a flat saw operator on the freeway and iwas hit by a stolen car on the freeway iwas lucky idid not even see the car until it hit me i still think of that day rip coner 81 will never be forgotten God bless you and your family 🙏✨️

My first ever speedway meeting that I attended, what a baptism. Sadly we won’t see the likes of this again unfortunately.

PC never knew when he was beaten

WESLAKE speedway engines , push rod.

Wofinden ??? 1986 ?

Hi Where can i get this whole meeting??

That bloke in the white coat is an annoying distraction.

Best English rider fact loved watching Kenny every Saturday

I have never heard of this, thank god, the most stupid sport i have ever seen.

On a one night final make the man. And Mike was that man ..

Who's the fella in the white coat running round after the riders?

The commentator dick barrie , been involved with speedway for over 60 years .

One of the few finals at went to at Wembley. Great memories. Jessop so unlucky that night.

RIP Kenny. Unbelievable he never won a world. Most exciting English rider I saw.

Hi Martyn - is this the same Ian Gill that rode for the Romford bombers?

Charlie Webster & Suzi Perry both new their stuff. I was at Wembley when Briggs lost a finger after an horrendous crash. Loram was a great rider but my two top English riders are still PC & KC.

19. What a rider Collins was. My two favourite English riders were PC and poor Kenny Carter. Great times.

Somewhere in that crowd was me. Cold but had Vodka so didn't Care .
