Fim speedway grand prix 15 for mac mac#

I helped Mac work on the track, I weeded the tulip beds and on Monday afternoons I had to cut the grass out in the centre before the speedway meeting. I cleaned the dressing rooms, the toilets, the pits and the workshop. 'I never, ever felt I was going to work for the simple reason that I just loved the atmosphere of being in Wimbledon Stadium. Mauger's great adventure began at Plough Lane where he rode in the second-half 'faces of the future' races and assisted Mac the groundsman. After I left school I had two jobs – as did Raye – and that's how we saved enough money to come to England when we were little more than children.' 'Everyone thought I had wealthy parents because I could afford to buy a bike before I was 16 but for three years I never bought an ice-cream, a Coca-Cola or anything like that. Inspired by the deeds of Moore, from the age of 12, Mauger dedicated himself to becoming speedway's champion of the world, working as a delivery boy for a local chemist in Christchurch after school and in the holidays to save money for his first racing machine. 'Without Ronnie, there would have been no Briggo and no Ivan Mauger whenever he came home to New Zealand it was like the arrival of Elvis. Mauger first arrived in the UK as a 17-year-old aboard the SS Rangitoto, which docked at Tilbury in 1957, with his teenage bride Raye, renting a one-bedroom flat in Wimbledon around the corner from Plough Lane where Moore and Briggs reigned as the twin 'kings of the cinders'. He was an active supporter of speedway, attending many meetings throughout the Australian season, as well as the Speedway Grand Prix of New Zealand, held at the Western Springs Stadium in Auckland. Mauger and his wife of over 60 years, Raye, lived on Australia's Gold Coast. In 2010, Mauger was named an FIM Legend for his motorcycling achievements. Mauger rode for several British teams – Wimbledon Dons, Newcastle Diamonds, Belle Vue Aces, Exeter Falcons, and the Hull Vikings.

He won a record six World Championships (Finals), a feat equalled only with the inclusion of the Speedway GP Championships by Tony Rickardsson of Sweden who won one World Final and five GP Championships. Ivan Gerald Mauger OBE (4 October 1939 – 16 April 2018) was a New Zealand motorcycle speedway rider.
