  • Volume 10 No.3 December 2007 Edition No.39
    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 10 No.3 December 2007 Edition No.39 Nigel’s Natters 5 Yet again we publish a series of articles by our man in Colindale – Nigel Bird. Despite being based in The Midlands, Nigel is down in North London on a regular basis digging out interesting facts. The Trophy that beats them all? We have had golden and silver gauntlets, gloves and a myriad of other items but this one must rank as the most unusual? The ‘Silver Cuirass’ raced for at Leeds 1929-31. A Cuirass is part of medieval armour; a breastplate or a breastplate and back plate fastened together. I would like to have seen this trophy on a rider!! (A similar bit of material emerged on the late 1940s – early 1950s at Glasgow Ashfield. There are pictures of Ken Le Breton with a breastplate AND a knight’s helmet. There is a tale that the helmet got stuck on Ken’s head and it took a fair bit of effort to remove it, an effort not helped by a team-mate’s bashing it on even harder.) Aussies To add to the late Don Gray’s list (Vol. 9 No.3) - “Jack Sweeny” (1929) but it’s not clear whether he was an Australian or a New Zealander. (Wilfred)‘Bill Allen’ is a mystery, is he English, a New Zealander or an Aussie? Halifax First meeting at Thrum Hall 1928 the races were only of 2 laps duration. Wolverhampton and Coventry (Foleshill) at times ran 5 lap races.

  • 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. 2 September 2003 Edited by Graham Fraser and Jim Henry Subscribers : 152 Feedback Alan Goodman, 32 Derwent Close, Brownsover, Rugby, CV21 1JX Tel: 01788 562132 was interested in the Fleetwood articles. He rememebered a visit to Blackpool in 1952 and persuading his parents to take him to Highbury Avenue Sports Stadium in Fleetwood. Alan recalls the team being called the Knights with a race jacket with orange and white quarters with and knights head emblem which was not dissimilar to the design used by Bradford Barons. He also recalls the programme which had a cover similar to the Oxford programmes of the day but with the word Fleetwood replacing Oxford. Finally Alan mentions that he recalls the track had an ash surface and a corrugated iron fence. All useful snippets Alan. A National Database - A Few Thoughts on the Topic David Selby, 34 Paddock Drive, Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 6SS expresses the view that “Speedway research should have advanced by now to a stage where all post war heat details are available so the process of ironing out the anomalies could be undertaken.” Would that they were David. There are a number of researchers working on the task of compiling heat by heat records of various tracks in the post war era who still have large gaps in their records. You need only look at the Can You Help section of this magazine to see that there are a lot of gaps to be filled and work has probably not started on a number of tracks.

  • Results & Heat Details
    Season 1972 28/07/2021 Notes – season files The full season files we have compiled have been collated from Speedway Publications, magazines, books and programmes. These files list the heat details of every (known) UK official meeting raced during that particular season and also attempt to correct the many errors that have been published in the Speedway press and various publications for that season. The points scorers in the official league and KO Cup fixtures should (in the vast majority of cases) correspond with the official averages published at the end of the season, together with any fixture(s) where the result was amended following an appeal to the SCB. We tried to remove as many errors as possible and of course some will remain. The authors will be delighted to hear of “genuine” mistakes and any missing information ie, race times, “missing” christian names, unreported tapes/2 minutes exclusions, etc. Steve Wilkes/Gary Done E-mail: [email protected] Wolverhampton: Winter Training School Championship Sunday 20th February 1972 (Individual) riders 1 2 3 4 5 pts pos 01.
