    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 10 No.3 December 2007 Edition No.39 Nigel’s Natters 5 Yet again we publish a series of articles by our man in Colindale – Nigel Bird. Despite being based in The Midlands, Nigel is down in North London on a regular basis digging out interesting facts. The Trophy that beats them all? We have had golden and silver gauntlets, gloves and a myriad of other items but this one must rank as the most unusual? The ‘Silver Cuirass’ raced for at Leeds 1929-31. A Cuirass is part of medieval armour; a breastplate or a breastplate and back plate fastened together. I would like to have seen this trophy on a rider!! (A similar bit of material emerged on the late 1940s – early 1950s at Glasgow Ashfield. There are pictures of Ken Le Breton with a breastplate AND a knight’s helmet. There is a tale that the helmet got stuck on Ken’s head and it took a fair bit of effort to remove it, an effort not helped by a team-mate’s bashing it on even harder.) Aussies To add to the late Don Gray’s list (Vol. 9 No.3) - “Jack Sweeny” (1929) but it’s not clear whether he was an Australian or a New Zealander. (Wilfred)‘Bill Allen’ is a mystery, is he English, a New Zealander or an Aussie? Halifax First meeting at Thrum Hall 1928 the races were only of 2 laps duration. Wolverhampton and Coventry (Foleshill) at times ran 5 lap races.

    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume No. 6. No. 2 September 2003 Edited by Graham Fraser and Jim Henry Subscribers : 152 Feedback Alan Goodman, 32 Derwent Close, Brownsover, Rugby, CV21 1JX Tel: 01788 562132 was interested in the Fleetwood articles. He rememebered a visit to Blackpool in 1952 and persuading his parents to take him to Highbury Avenue Sports Stadium in Fleetwood. Alan recalls the team being called the Knights with a race jacket with orange and white quarters with and knights head emblem which was not dissimilar to the design used by Bradford Barons. He also recalls the programme which had a cover similar to the Oxford programmes of the day but with the word Fleetwood replacing Oxford. Finally Alan mentions that he recalls the track had an ash surface and a corrugated iron fence. All useful snippets Alan. A National Database - A Few Thoughts on the Topic David Selby, 34 Paddock Drive, Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 6SS expresses the view that “Speedway research should have advanced by now to a stage where all post war heat details are available so the process of ironing out the anomalies could be undertaken.” Would that they were David. There are a number of researchers working on the task of compiling heat by heat records of various tracks in the post war era who still have large gaps in their records. You need only look at the Can You Help section of this magazine to see that there are a lot of gaps to be filled and work has probably not started on a number of tracks.

    Season 1965 Version 1.22 Notes – season files The full season files we have compiled have been collated from Speedway Publications, magazines, books and programmes. These files list the heat details of every (known) UK official meeting raced during that particular season and also attempt to correct the many errors that have been published in the Speedway press and various publications for that season. The points scorers in the official league and KO Cup fixtures should (in the vast majority of cases) correspond with the official averages published at the end of the season, together with any fixture(s) where the result was amended following an appeal to the SCB. We tried to remove as many errors as possible and of course some will remain. The authors will be delighted to hear of any “genuine” mistakes and/or any missing information such as race times, christian names, etc. Steve Wilkes/Gary Done E-mail: [email protected] Coventry v Cradley Heath Saturday 27th March 1965 (British League) coventry 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 pts bpts tpts 1.

    Volume 4 No.3

    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume No. 4 . No. 3 December 2001 Edited by Graham Fraser and Jim Henry Subscribers : 200 We welcome articles on modern or post war venues and start this edition with an item about a hazy Midlands venue which flourished in the late 1940s and early 1950s. THE TRACK AMONGST THE TREES Part 1 : The First Two Seasons Philip Pike has penned an article about the post war Midlands venue, Tamworth and in this edition we cover the first two seasons 1947 and 1948. The article will be completed in the next edition. If you drive along the A5 through Fazeley towards Nuneaton, on the right hand side of the road you will see some houses set behind some trees. This is where the Tamworth speedway track was situated, close to Drayton Manor, which was at one time the home Sir Robert Peel who founded the police force. Set amongst the trees the Deer Park Stadium exuded a friendly ambience that was, at the time, missing from those tracks located in an urban setting. The track measured 352 yards and the team for the opening 1947 season were known as “The Hounds.” The race jacket (which was the subject of much debate in The Speedway Researcher) had a red greyhound in full flight on top of blue and white halves. The promoter was former rider Arthur “Westy” Westwood who appointed Australian Steve Langton as team captain. Langton had raced in Britain in the pre-war days turning out for Lea Bridge, Hackney Wick and Birmingham.
