Three outstanding performances.(1). On 1 May 1977 winning a World Championship Qualifying round at Rye House with a 15-point maximum. (2) Rye House Rockets were away to Newcastle Diamonds where the Rockets won away 42-36 (25 April, Karl scoring a maximum 12 points). And (3) his proudest moment (quote from Karl), helping Rye House to win against Middlesbrough Bears on 9 October 1980 with a paid 15 point maximum having had to win the last race of the match to win the National League (speedway) Championship.
While racing for Rye House Rockets[2] under the parent club Hackney Hawks, Karl also worked as an engineer for a company that made Life Support and Anaesthetic Equipment.
In 1988, he joined a Direct Mail Print Company and, in 2002, started his own business in this line, which is still running today. A keen squash player until knee-joint problems forced retirement from league competition.
