    WORLD LONGTRACK FINALS 1971 – 1996 Tracy Holmes

    WORLD LONGTRACK FINALS 1971 – 1996 Tracy Holmes Pre 1971 Before we look at the first World Longtrack Final in 1971, we must take a peek at its prototype, the European Final. The first of these was held in 1957 and won by the Norwegian legend Leif "Basse" Hveem. The term 'legend' is often thrown about like confetti but in this case, it is well earned ! The next 3 Finals were all won by West Germany's Josef Hofmeister. No-one was ever able to achieve the 'Triple Crown' in the World Finals, but 2 riders did it in its forerunner. Hofmeister was joined by another West German, Manfred Poschenrieder winning in '66, '67 and '68. The closest anyone got in the World Final was England's Simon Wigg who won the Finals of '93 and '94, only to be beaten in the Gold Medal run-off in '95 by his England team-mate, Kelvin Tatum! Swedish riders excelled in the Euro Finals, 1954 World Speedway Final bronze medalist, Olle Nygren took the bronze in the '59 Final. Ove Fundin, reigning World Speedway Champion at the time, was 2nd in the '61 Final behind Timo Laine of Finland. Just over a week later, Fundin won his 3rd World Speedway Final. Bertil Strid was Sweden's first Euro Champion, winning the Finals of '62 and '63. The Swedes were interupted in '64 by Denmark's Kurt W. Petersen. On the 12th of September 1965, Swedish star Bjorn Knutson won the Euro Final. A week later, he won the World Speedway Final as well.

    75 Years History 16-20

    Part 16: THE ROVING SCOTSMAN (1970-’71 ) In November of 1967, at the age of twenty-two, Scottish speedway rider Alex Hughson took off by van from his Edinburgh home, heading for Australia and New Zealand to sample some speedway there. He got as far as Bombay in India, where rioting students tarred his van, when he decided to change his plans and head instead for Africa. Alex had been in and out of the Edinburgh Monarchs team in 1967 and was considered at the time as a good standby rider to have around. In January of 1968 he found himself in Nairobi from where he wrote the following lines: "Imagine my surprise“, he said, "when I arrived here and saw a poster advertising a speedway meeting. I went along and though they use the term speedway loosely here in Kenya, it was an intriguing way to spend a Sunday afternoon.“ "This was their first meeting in ten years and although it lacked presentation, the small but enthusiastic crowd of about 1,500 got plenty to shout about.“ "Ivan Smith, the local motorcycle champion in every class, was on a 500cc JAP in a Hagon frame, the nearest thing to a pukka speedway bike. Smith is 25 and a good all-rounder.“ Alex planned to move on through Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia and Rhodesia to South Africa, where he again hoped to see some speedway. RHODESIAN SPEEDWAY REVIVAL Alex Hughson fell in love with Africa and stayed on. He settled in Rhodesia and soon became the driving force behind the attempt to re-introduce speedway in the land! Speedway wasn’t an unknown sport in Rhodesia, as there had been racing in Bulawayo in the 1950‘s.

  • Dream Team : John Phelan

    Dream Team : John Phelan

    Dream Team : John Phelan I've been a fan since 1974, and have endured all of the ups and downs that my club, Oxford has been through since then. I've been through all the winters of uncertainty, the amazing Nielsen years, and witnessed some staggeringly good racing. Amongst my many memories, I've had the pleasure of parading both Joe Screen and Scott Nicholls around the Oxford circuit on my Harley-Davidson motorcycle after their respective British Championship successes in 2004 and 2005. My selection below is of riders who have ridden for Oxford, though there are a good few others that I could select, and the list is in no particular order. Nielsen Kennett Gordon Kennett My first hero. He had an amazing ability to pass people up the inside, and it was his pass on Barry Briggs in the first match I ever saw on Easter Monday at Oxford that got me hooked. That night at Wembley in 1978 when he got the Silver Medal in the World Final was something else. Hans Nielsen The man had it all. Fast when in front, a brilliant team rider, and never beaten until the flag fell. He seemed to have this amazing ability to drag whoever he was paired with into the first corner with him. No coincidence that Oxford's best years were '84 to '92 when he was in the team. Mick Poole Mick only spent one year at Oxford, but what a year. So many races I can remember, but his ability to pass other riders on the outside of the 4th bend was special.
