Dave Lanning commentates on classic British Final action. Kenny Carter, John Davis, Michael Lee, Peter Collins and reigning Champ Andy graham all compete.
So sad to see the current level of the British Final these days, id say ALL of todays riders who take part in the British Final not fit to be mentioned in the above company of riders from 1983, even Tai Woffinden cant be bothered with it.
The track my parents met at and where I was an official for Stock Cars in the early to mid 00's. That said, this was the best configuration of the track. My grandmother's team was Coventry Bees. My dad was a junior for Leicester.

When I was a kid I went to matches at Coventry. We left for Australia in about '77 but had stand tickets for years. Excellent to see the place again!
4-way run off for third!
I missed out consistent but not good enough to qualify for the next round. The days when the british final was as hard as a world final

Cant believe Bruce Penhall didnt try to equal Ivan Mauger's record of 3 one off World Final wins in a row, 'CHiPs' was a complete waste of time

Michael Lee was such a fun rider to watch.
My favourite era of speedway…so exiting with true characters and some great racing.
