 Outspoken and not afraid to stand up for himself, Kenny Carter was not universally popular with other riders, even those who were his team mates in the England team.In a television interview during the 1984 British Final (which he won despite a broken right leg) he told that in the change rooms some of his England team mates had been verbally attacking him for his desire to continue riding.Most of the riders frustrations came from the wet track conditions which they felt were not good to ride in.
