  • Volume 12 No.3 December 2009 Edition No.47
    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 12 No.3 December 2009 Edition No.47 Constructive Debate Those of you who follow the Old Time Speedway chat room web site will know an article we published some time ago has been the cause of some, let us say, passionate, debate and questions about the accuracy of some of our articles. In the light of this we would like to say that we set up to achieve the sub heading above but never set up to make any claims about the accuracy of the material we publish simply because we cannot check every item we receive and publish. We accept, in good faith, that the article represents the honest belief of the contributor. Equally, that should anyone consider there are factual inaccuracies in any article that they let us know their differing opinion and we will publish it provided it is not going to land us in court i.e. isn‟t offensive to or is a personal attack on anyone. We would like to move on from this episode positively and, as a magazine which is nearing the half century edition, would like to see it continue to hit the 100, have everyone pulling together in pursuit of a common chequered flag. Keith Cox an original Edinburgh Monarch Tony Webb’s coverage of the lesser known lads continues. Keith Cox had a long career in Australia from 1946-1958, he ranks as one of the few Australian legends who never reached his true potential in Britain.

  • Volume 5 No.3
    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 5 No. 3 December 2002 Edited by Graham Fraser and Jim Henry Subscribers : 160 Who Was The Best Prewar Rider? Don Gray, Old Orchard, Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire, CB5 9JU, Telephone: 01223 862279 has posed the question above and set out to answer it in the following article. On becoming aware that I saw my first speedway meeting on Easter Monday 1930, many acquaintances ask, who, in my opinion, was the best rider in the pre-war era? A most difficult question to answer. A number of criteria present themselves from which to reach an opinion and they are viewed from different perspectives by various enthusiasts, many of whom, I might suggest, are biased towards their own particular favourites. I must concentrate on the thirties and ignore the overseas pioneers of the late 1920s when Frank Arthur and Vic Huxley reigned supreme over the inexperienced emergent British riders and when those spectacular showmen like Billy Lamont and Sprouts Elder enthralled a curious and excited public. I choose to ignore the one track specialists who performed brilliantly on their own circuits but indifferently when visiting other tracks. I put men like Jack Barnett and Phil Bishop at High Beech, the Australian Jack Bishop at Exeter, Arthur Jervis at Leicester Super and Len Parker at Bristol. Unlike the modern era, the pre-war decade was notable for the number of riders who experienced purple patches of form and dominated their peer for a few weeks, only to recede back to the category of “good” rather than “outstanding”.

  • The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research Into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume No
    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.
