Y'know since Curly started this thread, I have been trawling through me old photo albums and old programs and have realised how important all this memorabilia is, Short Circuit in the 60s and 70s was a breeding ground for lifelong friendships an also a little argy- bargy and what a time it was.
I know some would say we are living in the past, but what a past !! Tours , both Short Circuit and Speedway , by the Auld Enemy the Poms, legend OS riders , like Wigg, Pusey, Olsen, Mauger, Fundin, I could go on. The best part about all that was our boys gave it to the Poms in spades !! Think about OUR legends whose names have been on this thread , The Captain, Edwards , Askew, Poole, Fraser, Howison , Hunter , Norris , Crump , Street , Langfield, the list goes on and on !!.
Australia had four World Champions in Speedway last year , and did many people outside the sport know ??
Ahh well, I guess I better get to the point of this post.
No prizes for identifying the rider on the left, in these pit shots taken at the Royale but who is the young bloke on the right ?? I think I know who it is , but I'm not sure , any ideas anyone ??
