  • WORLD LONGTRACK FINALS 1971 – 1996 Tracy Holmes
    WORLD LONGTRACK FINALS 1971 – 1996 Tracy Holmes Pre 1971 Before we look at the first World Longtrack Final in 1971, we must take a peek at its prototype, the European Final. The first of these was held in 1957 and won by the Norwegian legend Leif "Basse" Hveem. The term 'legend' is often thrown about like confetti but in this case, it is well earned ! The next 3 Finals were all won by West Germany's Josef Hofmeister. No-one was ever able to achieve the 'Triple Crown' in the World Finals, but 2 riders did it in its forerunner. Hofmeister was joined by another West German, Manfred Poschenrieder winning in '66, '67 and '68. The closest anyone got in the World Final was England's Simon Wigg who won the Finals of '93 and '94, only to be beaten in the Gold Medal run-off in '95 by his England team-mate, Kelvin Tatum! Swedish riders excelled in the Euro Finals, 1954 World Speedway Final bronze medalist, Olle Nygren took the bronze in the '59 Final. Ove Fundin, reigning World Speedway Champion at the time, was 2nd in the '61 Final behind Timo Laine of Finland. Just over a week later, Fundin won his 3rd World Speedway Final. Bertil Strid was Sweden's first Euro Champion, winning the Finals of '62 and '63. The Swedes were interupted in '64 by Denmark's Kurt W. Petersen. On the 12th of September 1965, Swedish star Bjorn Knutson won the Euro Final. A week later, he won the World Speedway Final as well.

  • Newcastle Speedway Brough Park a League History Volume Three 1981
    Newcastle Speedway Brough Park A League History Volume Three 1981 to 1993 Compiled by Joe Wake 1 Foreword I was born in 1955 and was brought up in Blyth, Northumberland in the 1960’s. I discovered speedway when noticing the reports on the back page of the Newcastle Evening Chronicle. I pestered my father to take me and he eventually did. We both became hooked on the sport but as he was a police officer working shifts it meant we could only go every two weeks at the most. I did, on a couple of occasions, take the speedway special United bus which went from Ashington to Brough Park on a Monday night and picked up in Blyth but, for a schoolboy the, if I recall, 3s 9d bus fare together with the cost of admission and programme meant it was not possible to do so on a weekly basis. Brough Park closed at the end of the 1970 season. I went to one meeting each at Ashington and Sunderland but that was it until I attended the the reopening meeting at Brough Park in March 1975. I was then in my late teens, was working and liked socialising and between then and leaving the area to move to Northamptonshire in 1981 I probably saw no more than half a dozen meetings. Since then I have attended about twenty meetings with the latest being in 2005. I still follow the sport and have continued to subscribe to Speedway Star throughout but I, like many others, have become disillusioned with rule changes, guests, doubling up and down, the laughable double points joker etc.

  • 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.
