The riders featured in Issue 2 are Roger Mills - a Leicester Lion in 1968 and who rode for Long Eaton in 1967 and from 1971-73, Alan Molyneux (1973-4, 1982-83 and 1985), and Gary O’Hare (1988-1992). Finally, Chris Pidcock who was also attached to Leicester in 1982 and who rode at Station Road in 1984-85). The 105 page A4 book features in-depth stories from the riders’ careers in their own words with many stories receiving an airing for the first time. “Once again,” says Ian “I am indebted to the wonderful support and enthusiasm I have received from the four riders concerned, all of whom gave up around three hours of their time to answer the many questions which formed the basis of their stories.” Sales of Issue 1 saw a total of £225 handed over to the Long Eaton Speedway Reunion Group to be distributed to injured ex-riders and Ian is hopeful of a similar success with this new issue. If you would like a copy please send a cheque or postal order for £7.00 to Ian Gill, 35 Humberston Road, Wollaton, Nottingham NG8 2SU. All orders will be sent out by 1st class post as soon as possible. For further details – and the background to the Trackin’ Down series - please see Ian’s dedicated website at http://trackindown.webs.com, which also contains extracts from the new book. |
