Great pics. I raced at Ipswich in the early 80s. I've also got some footage on film which I should upload, includes Mike Pardon and John Lee, Mike has just crashed but finished. What I remember, if I've got the right track, is the jumps where small but vicious and not that easy to ride (not for a little powder puff like me anyway).

Look forward to seeing that as if those two guys are in i should be!! I do remember racing them there once & i think Mike did crash & i won so i'd love to see it!!!
The jumps were all small but quite steep so you probably got the right track. :)

I loved the Landseer track and it was the track I had my last race on before getting injured and then retiring.
Great pics

If my memory serves me right we went there for a meeting and they had removed the table top and put the biggest ,steepest speed jump i had ever ridden on ,this would have been down the second straight,it was scary when i was a small boy :LolLolLolLol:
