Sad to learn of the death of Billy Bales!! Remember seeing him ride in 1950's. When there was little or no specialist clothing for Speedway Billy used old fashioned rubber spiked batting gloves for Speedway.

Sad to learn of the death of Billy Bales!! Remember seeing him ride in 1950's. When there was little or no specialist clothing for Speedway Billy used old fashioned rubber spiked batting gloves for Speedway. When I rode in the 70s the gloves had various levels of foam on fingers and thumb. Quite a timely observation given that Basso withdrew from our home meeting due to a stone or something hitting his hand. The gloves that they wear these days are just cosmetic, offering little to no protection. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Bales
