  • TIME WORLD FINAL What Would Happen If We
    ALL TIME WORLD FINAL What would happen if we could line up all the greatest speedway riders from the different eras at the peak of their form? Who would be the ultimate World Champion? Of course this is impossible to answer but the one thing we do have are the statistics and, as a statistician, this question has fascinated me back to when I first started going to speedway in the 80s. There are several ways to look at the numbers and arguably a couple of riders have genuine claims to be the number 1 depending on how you look at things. I have attempted to reflect 'peak' form over a sensible period which does not overly reward those with long careers or unjustly punish those stars who shone only relatively briefly at the top level. I have included the Star Riders Finals, of the pre-1936 World Final years, and ‘British Championship’ meetings, when the official world final competitions were suspended due to the war; but have done so at a reduced level compared to ‘full’ finals. Also I have tried to adjust for incidents such as falls and engine failures which don't reflect a rider's actual scoring power at the time and also races such as Sam Ermolenko's last place in 1993 when he was already confirmed as champion so the result did not matter. Further I have tried to give the best adjustment between the GP results and the scoring of the old one-off finals so as not to give an advantage or disadvantage to those who competed under the differing formats.

    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume No. 5 . No. 4 March 2003 Edited by Graham Fraser and Jim Henry Subscribers End of Volume Five - Volume Six Here We Come This edition brings us to the end of Volume 5 and we look forward to Volume 6. Both Editors have given the future of the magazine some thought . We set up with the aim to promote research into the history of speedway and dirt track racing and feel we have provided a useful forum for the exchange of information. Our discussions have revolved round where the magazine was going after we have passed on a pile of factual data in Volumes 1 - 5. We have always said - If it isn’t in - you haven’t sent it and that we want to edit rather than write all the items in the magazine ourselves. Heartened by the positive feedback we always get from you we have decided to continue and to seek a bigger input from you in the form of items for inclusion in the magine, be it requests for information, or items on any aspect of speedway you care to write about. We have reviewed the running costs and will stick with an annual subscription of £3.00 for Volume 6. Yet again with this edition we include our subscription renewal and survey form and welcome your requests for information and an indication of articles you might be able to supply. 1936 World Championship Mark Sawbridge has compiled this article on the first official World Final which was a watershed event in speedway history.
