  • 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. 4 March 2004 Edited by Graham Fraser and Jim Henry Subscribers : 162 The End of Another Volume Despite the heading Volume / Number being confused a couple of time, this is the end of Volume Number 6. The good news is that we will continue with the magazine and progress to Volume Number 7. We will, however be seeking a modest (in absolute terms) increase in price of £1.00 raising the annual subscription to £4.00. This is to cover the increasing cost of photocopying and paper. We hope this keeps those of you who have complained of our low cost publication. We will be moving the production from the long serving Macintosh Performa 6200 running on Clarisworks to a PC machine running Windows XP and, maybe, just maybe, we can look at a revamp of style. Maybe, too, we will be able to experiment with photographs. We would love your views on this - we prefer a lot of words and limited amount of wasted white space. As usual we include our annual end of edition reports. Please fill in the form and tell us what you thought of Volume 6. We do try to incorporate your suggestions in your next Volume. Please let us know what you are doing as we will get round to publishing a who is doing what section in the next volume. Please use the form to let us know your wants as the first edition of the new volume is quite strong on readers’ needs.
