While the information in the 2008 MoMS is correct at the time of printing, things can – and often do change. For this reason, we urge you to keep an eye on our website (www.ma.org.au) and on our fortnightly e-Newsletters for information about any changes that may occur. We will soon have a designated area of the website especially for the manual, and this area will house any amendments that are related to the printed version. You will also be able to download an on-line version of the manual from this area as well. It is fair to say that 2007 was a truly successful year for motorcycling in Australia – both on the bike and behind the scenes. A feat such as Casey Stoner’s in becoming the next of our home-grown World Champions certainly cannot be overlooked, and we will get into the racing performance feats shortly.

  • 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 13 No.2 September 2010 Edition No.50 We’ve Made It Don’t want to make a big song and dance but we are 50 editions old at long last. It seems like only yesterday since we published the manifesto edition which set our stall for possible future editions. After moaning about the lack of a magazine like The Speedway Researcher we decided to see how our efforts would be received. We got a favourable response and then got on with producing more editions with loads of information which needed to be shared. There are loads of highlights and a few downers as we see loyal contributors and subscribers pass away. We’ve made a lot of long distance friendships and spent a lot of time helping fellow researchers track down that vital bit of information. It is particularly heartening to see the number of authors who have acknowledged the magazine. The web has added a new dimension to what we can do and has made so much information available to so many. It can only grow and expand but only as an adjunct to the magazine. We will continue to put back numbers on to the web site and let others share in the fruits of the efforts. We suspect very few magazines have been so open with their back numbers. So, we’d like to say thanks to everyone who has contributed and subscribed over the years. Without out your support we probably would have fizzled out a long time ago.
