Some never seen before footage of the great Kelly 'Jelly Man' Moran racing at Eastbourne Speedway in 1988.........A Terrific Speedway Rider doing what he loved best.
I'll never forget watching Kelly come from behind to win race, after race as a kid. He was one of my favorite riders, along with Ermolenko, and Lance King. RIP Kelly.
Kelly Moran. My all time hero. I loved watching him at Arlington (I was 10'ish), at the time, he had one of the most beautiful, unique and natural riding styles. Kelly was tiny (guess 5'5" and weighed F'all), to counterbalance the bike he would hang off the bike at the most ridiculous angles, I loved it. The man was Badass. RIP Kelly
Thanks John, yes Kelly was amazing on a speedway Machine. one of the more radical styles that we all enjoyed watching.....top notch Rider and personallity..........one rider who you could call a 'legend'......Regards Barry
the good old days, everything that can be said about kelly has already been said, so il just add the word "class" thank you for posting this great footage,, R.I.P kelly
Barry Price hi barry. I never saw craven either, i went to belle vue a year later to watch the aces and was always sorry i didnt go sooner. I saw shaun moran too. He was good but kelly just had the edge on him for excitement.

Was there ever a more stylish speedway rider than this man?
These videos never get old..
Was a golden era in speedway Jackson
Orange County, CA, early to mid90s was hot speedway Friday night. Good times at the fairgrounds.
Absolutely one of the most stylish rider ever ❤
Brilliant video love the sound wish we had smelly vision!
Kelly Moran, one of the best riders EVER to wear Eagles colours, always remembered with affection :)
Similar style to Peter Craven. Exciting to watch, small riders seem to hang off the bike. Perfect balance! R.I.P kelly.
Thanks Alfie, I never saw Peter Craven ride but watch Kelly many times........top rider with a great style....Regards Barry

Kelly didn't ride for Eastbourne in 88, suspect this is actually the Keith Pritchard testimonial
