Not even The Great Ivan Mauger could Pass these two 

Some great names. As a regular at Leicester way back when it was a joy to see Dave Jessup in action again, fabulous rider and team member.

Collins, Jessup, Mauger, great names from back in the day. However, one name that was present at every speedway meeting telivised on national TV back then was of course Dave Lanning, who, through his commentating brought speedway even further on to the national stage.

Lvan was the best speedway rider of all time rest in peace our dear friend

In fairness to Mauger - the two were team riding against him - and doing a very very good job - great heat.

Saw Mauger and Barry Briggs debut in the USA at White Stadium, Pacoima ,California Oct 1968. Both put on a Clinic of how you race Speedway as the Majority of American Riders were using traditional Flattrack/Shorttrack Riding Style which wasn't working so great. The following Friday Night Briggs brought his ESO to Ascot Park in Gardena and Geared for a few exhibition laps on the 1/2 Mile. Americans eventually caught on and we had some great future riders and Champions. Penhall,Bast Brothers,Faria became Well known names in Speedway. Even former TV Star Billy Gray of "Father Knows Best" was a frequent Flyer at Costa Mesa in the later 70's. I'm Old School AMA Style DT Racing but I love Speedway Racing and Ivan Mauger will go down in History as a Mega Star of World Speedway Racing....Ivan passed away April 16, 2018 R.I.P. IVAN

I remember Ivan Mauger racing at Swindon it was a heat 13 against Bob Kilby , Bob out gated him , but Ivans will to win was so strong in him he got under Bob and put Bob in the fence in the pit corner .At the time I was disappointed in him .But now I understand now. Thank Ivan and Bob for all the good memories god bless you both.

A lesson in team riding at it's very best. 👌

I WATCHED EM AT ODSAL STADIUM BRADFORD AS A WE BOY , NOW I LIVE DOWN THE ROAD FROM IVANS MUSEUM IN NZ

Seen Ivan m ride many times at Exeter county ground omg such fun filled days ❤❤

PC and DJ now that's a strong team.

I saw Ivan Mauger race back in the mid 70's at the Costa Mesa (teacup) in Southern California - he was special

Remember Dave Jessup riding for Reading Racers, Peter Collins at Bell view, they were the days

Dave Jessup was a great rider - saw them both ride at Coventry (Collins and Jessup) - Good days, thanks for the memories!

Perfect team riding by the English riders, it is the best I have ever seen in my 50 years of Speedway.

One of the rare gates PC made , proper speedway , proper starts , proper sounding bikes with proper riders on em . Loved it back then , wouldn’t waste my money on it now

saw all of the bast riders from that era thank you UK cheers from downunder

Awesome riding. 👍 From NZ

The great days of speedway when the riders were household names

Jessup was on fire at this time, probably his best ever period early to mid 1980

DJ was at his peak at this time....

Enjoyed that . 👍

Speedway Rocks!

Hi martyn would you be interested in a 1981 dvd exeter v crayford?

They were helped by it being a whiteliners track.

Who was the other kiwi in that race?

Two trappers outrapped by a racer who could hardly ever trap!!

Mauger was never a great overtaker made the gate most of the time

Mauger was known as a gater, many riders were better racers

So,....rollerderby on motorcycles? 😂😂😂
