He got the nickname Chum after his grandmother said "Oh, my little chum!" when she first saw him at a day old. Chum’s speedway career began in 1948 at the Claremont Speedway, where his success led to him receiving several offers from Britain. Chum rode for many teams in the UK from 1951 to 1966. He was known as the "Master" of Claremont Speedway where he regularly beat most of the visiting riders, including several World Champions. In 1973 Chum retired from racing at the age of 46, after breaking his shoul- der blade in a crash. Career highlights include: * Won the Australian Solo Championship at Rowley Park (SA) in 1996. * Winning the Western Australia Championship on five occasions (1958, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1970) * Representing Australia at the World Final in 1960, where he finished in 11th place * Captaining Australia in a Test Match against England * Winning the Australian Solo Championship in 1966 His autobiography, A Dangerous Life, was published in 1986.

Yet again we have thought about the future and we have agreed we can continue on run with Volume 15. Yet again we put out a call for articles which allows us to share information of interest to we speedway historians. There is a massive range of topics out there and there is no restriction on the era you can write about. The subscription for Volume 15 will be £5 yet again so not cost of living busting rise to add to inflationary pressures (whatever that means.) We are still in the black and there is no need to bump up prices to our loyal band of subscribers. The renewal slip is included with this edition and we look forward to hearing from you yet again. Graham and Jim Wartime Speedway at Belle Vue Barry Stephenson lives nearnWorkington but is a great fan of Belle Vue with an equally great interest in the history of the Manchester team. Barry has penned the following article. As a keen programme collector of Belle Vue and Workington memorabilia I hoped someday to be able to collect all the wartime Belle Vue programmes. There were 168 Belle Vue programmes issued between 23 September 1939 and the end of the 1945 season encompassing 174 meetings.

  • 2012 Team Racing Sponsorship Proposal

    2012 Team Racing Sponsorship Proposal

    2012 Team Racing Sponsorship Proposal Speedway Sidecars is a motorcycle sport involving 4 teams consisting of a rider and a passenger competing over 4 laps on an oval shale track. Rules are governed by the national speedway federation and are not dissimilar to conventional speedway rules. Speedway Sidecars is most popular in Australia although in Great Britain it also has a strong following. Speedway sidecar events are also held in New Zealand, South Africa and United States of America. Because of the nature of the sports hotbeds being spread so wide across the globe, organising an official World Championship has been an arduous task, though in 2006 the first successful Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme or (FIM for short) World Track Racing Sidecar Championships (Sidecar Gold Cup) were held at Isle of Wight Speedway stadium. The event was screened live on Sky Sports. Racing speedway sidecars involves a rider and a passenger mounted on a 1000cc purpose built, three-wheeled sidecar outfit. The passenger of the machine is as much involved in the race performance as the rider. The two members of the sidecar team work in unison to ride the outfit as best they can. Speedway circuits are a loose shale surface and therefore traction is most important. The passenger plays a major part in controlling the amount of traction being created on the rear wheel. He does so by moving his weight forwards, backwards and sideways (either in to or out of the machine). The outfit only ever turns right so the passenger only finds himself on the right hand side of the outfit.

    Sprint Car Racing 1 Sprint Car Racing

    Sprint car racing 1 Sprint car racing Sprint cars are high-powered race cars designed primarily for the purpose of running on short oval or circular dirt or paved tracks. Sprint car racing is popular in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Sprint cars have a high power-to-weight ratio, making speeds in excess of 140 miles per hour (230 km/h) possible on some tracks. 900 horsepower (670 kW) is commonplace for these machines which typically have a 410 cubic inch engine displacement.[1] A lower cost but still popular class of sprint cars uses 360 cubic inch engines and produce approximately 700 horsepower (520 kW). The safety record of Modern sprint car sprint car racing in recent years has been greatly improved by the use of roll cages to protect the drivers. Many Indicator Series and NASCAR drivers used sprint car racing as an intermediate stepping stone on their way to more high profile divisions, including Indianapolis 500 winners A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Johnny Rutherford, Parnell Jones, Johnnie Parsons, and Al Unser, Jr., as well as NASCAR Sprint Cup champions Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart. The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum located in Knoxville, Iowa, USA features exhibits to highlight the history of both winged and non-wing sprint cars. Mini sprint car Non-winged sprint cars There are a few sanctioning bodies for non-winged sprint cars. The United States Automobile Club (USAC) has become the premier series for non-winged sprint car racing throughout the United States, especially after taking over the Sprint Car Racing Association (SCRA) and turning it into the USAC/California Racing Association (USAC/CRA).

An official report said three people were killed when struck by a police car in an accident Friday night. Students linked the deaths to their demon- sti^tions and called for a general strike in protest Troops moved against students whose defiance of martial law and occupation of Beijing’s vast square Chin'a^s rulers'^^ spurred a power struggle among 'The military advances began about midnight and ended in disarray. More than eight hours later soldiers still straggled away from thecity center to the outskirts, where about 200,000 soldiers were reportedly camped. Soldiers advanced down Changan Avenue, the capital s main road, but thousands of students and residents used trucks, buses and their bodies to stop them in front of the Beijing Hotel, several hundred yards east of the square. other troop convoys coming from other directions also were halted. The middle of the square remained calm, with the Ode to Joy from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony blaring over student loudspeakers. More than 2,000 people surrounded two unmarked buses, one carrying about 40 soldiers and the other supplies including automatic rifles, 1.2 miles west of Tiananmen. Some of the people broke into the supply vehicle and removed several automatic rifles, one equipped with a bayonet, and displayed the weapons on a table set up on top of the bus.

It was to be modelled on the existing Liverpool Speedway and to be constructed at 40 feet wide and 86 yards long. The track and safety fences were estimated to cost $20,000.
