Brock

One of the hardest chargers in Australian Speedway midget racing over many years, Len Brock was the ultimate entertainer.

Len sits in the BERCO # 2 on the infield outside the Pits at the Royale. The Coronation Stand on the back straight is outlined with lights.

A beautiful study of Len in the McGee Tornado Falcon. The only other Falcon to run in serious competiton apart from my Q5.

Len drove the fabulous Tornado # 13 with the Falcon engine for Hedley McGee.

Len gives a wave, the familiar cigarette in his right hand.

What a great shot ! Brockie and Barry Butterworth hard at it at through Pit turn at the Royale.

McGee later replaced the Falcon power plant with an Offy. in # 13.

The 99 Repco had a Roadster type body fitted to it.

Len in the Repco Roadster with a different paint job.

Len in the Joe Hills Climax # 98.

Bryan Cunneen in # 55 asks, "are you OK down there, Lennie?" after Len's big one at the Bull Pens on turn one at the Royale.

Just a small sample of Brockies' hi-jinx over the years.

I hope you have enjoyed the photographic tribute to Len Brock , one of Speedway's real Gladiators.
