Peter Collins, the Master of Belle Vue
Ойындар
The BLRC was the crown jewel of Belle Vue for years with all the greats winning the prestigious Trophy. In 1977 Ivan Mauger (World Champion), Ole Olsen and Peter Collins to name a few were chasing the title. This is Heat 7.

I had the fortune to meet Ivan mauger years ago,he was a legend here in NZ,i also had the privilege of transporting his gold plated Jawa, along with his trophies and cups, R.I.P Ivan, Ride hard and ride fast !
My favourite rider ever , watched him come up from reserve at Bellevue
Peter had tremendous control over a speedway bike, and was my boyhood hero, I hold him in the highest esteem, even though he hated my local track at the Boulevard Hull....
You could not beat BLRC night at Hyde road, packed stadium great racing fantastic atmosphere, sadly all gone KZread keeps great memories alive. A big thank you to everyone who uploads speedway videos.

Yeah it was bloody marvellous...and sadly it has all gone. Speedway now is a pale shadow of what it used to be.
Used to love going to Belle Vue to watch the Aces. The smells were incredible. Bike fuel mixed with hot dogs and onions! Chris Morton was also brill 👍

And the cinder track smell! Especially when you get a face full over the barrier! Happy memories

The fumes are still there 👍
Peter Collins a true legend and would've retained his world title in Gothenburg if it wasn't for his leg injury and rainy conditions but was very brave to still ride in it such masterclass of a rider.
Awesome ride Peter,
Why we always loved the longer tracks and what a difference the dirt deflectors made.
Brilliant , well worth every penny then back in the day
I saw PC at western Springs in Auck. NZ. The best I had seen other than Ivan
P.C first rode a speedway bike at Crewe Speedway home of the (KINGS)
wow just took me back to being 12 years old, World of Sport, luv it
I was there stood on the popular side...the place was rammed and rocking...whatever went wrong.
Love the old days at Hyde road
A lovely moment Mauger acknowledging Collins 2:54. I'm coming back in my next life to ride speedway :)

Agreed the British League had the cream of the crop rider wise..no makeweight Germans, Norwegens, Russians and Czechs.

Its a shame British speedway is dying. Workington won everything last year and they have pulled out

Happened too Ellesmere port after 85 season..
Of course a PC was the master of Hyde Road but it was not Peter Collins, it was Peter Craven who was is in a different class to almost every other speedway rider ever.

Collins was just as good round Hyde Rd, just not as spectacular.

I remember Peter Craven only getting post matchrace rides at Liverpool (The Chads). My dad, who was good at predicting the next generation of champions said Peter would never be a champion because he was always falling off. How wrong he was and how we all made dad pay for it later. He had predicted a string of world champions prior to that.

Cradley through and through, but that's class passing, not as good as the penhall olsen 1981 world final.
