Post by: brickiejase on December 15, 2009, 10:28 PM

I was thinking about this race , at Wembly BITD. It was 82 ish.

There was an indoor speedway event on and in between their racing we came on and raced BMX, all of witch was showed live on TV.

Can any one else remember this or has anyone got it on tape??

This was in 1982, but I can`t remember us riding in between speedway races, although at the start of the 1983 Skyway European Tour we did do a demo in the interval of a speedway race at Wembley Areana  :daumenhoch:

Yeah i remember the race.

The speedway riders did a lap on our bikes.

Motos were fixed so Ruffs had only temp licence holders in his moto so he had time to pull a 360 in one of them.

I got my own back by winning the final though!!!   :knuppel2:

I remember Ruffs doing a 360 in a race at Buckmore park, on that step up thing near the finish.
