    Part 11: 1957- 58 SEASON The 1957/58 South African speedway league season turned out to be a two-horse-race between Pretoria Eagles and Durban Hornets, with the former eventually clinching the championship on race-points difference, after both finished with an identical record of five wins and one loss from their six official matches. The highlights were the two direct encounters between the Eagles and the Hornets, which both ended in a home win. On January 12, Durban won a thriller of a match by 51.5 points to 50.5 at their own Hoy Park circuit. Henry Long (14) and Roy Bowers (11) top scored for the Hornets, while Pretoria’s Swedish ace Olle Nygren recorded an 18 points maximum. Just three days later, on January 15, both teams met for the return match at Pretoria’s Speedway Stadium. This time the Eagles beat the Hornets in another close match, keeping the title chase still undecided. For the record and to give an idea of the line-up’s of that year’s top two teams. Here are the points score details of the Pretoria match: PRETORIA Eagles (52): Olle Nygren 18, Trevor Redmond 15, Howdy Cornell 8, Claude Warne 6, Jimmy Scott 3, Charlie Branders 2. DURBAN Hornets (49): Henry Long 13, Neil Mortimer 11, Roy Bowers 11, Gerry Hickson 5, Aubrey Long 4, Vern McWilliams 3, Graham White 2. By the end of February, all but one of the league matches had been completed and Pretoria sat on top of the league table. Durban Hornets, with one match in hand, needed to beat the East Rand Stars by a margin of 8 or more to put themselves on top, but only managed a tight 50-48 win against the men from Springs, which kept Hornets in second place to the Eagles in the league’s final standings.

    Part 6: SIX AFRICAN TRACKS IN 1953/54 FOUR IN THE UNION – TWO IN RHODESIA IN spite of the wettest summer for a decade – there were many washouts – speedway increased in popularity in the Union. As weeks rolled by more and more cities clamoured for tracks, suitable venues being the only obstacle to a wild-fire spread of the sport. Supporters clubs, on British lines, grew apace and hero worship reached an all-time high. The knights of the cinder circuits were quite as well known in the Transvaal as the players of any of the other major spectator sports. In fact in the mid-1950‘s only inter-provincial and international rugby had a larger and more ardent following than speedway racing. Club rugby, soccer and cricket had been relegated to the ranks of the "also-rans“ where numbers are concerned. An event which was to have a profound effect on Transvaal racing was the arrival of restless, ambitious Trevor Redmond in September. He went to work with a will and carved a track out of the virgin veldt at Springs on the Far East Rand. Meetings went with a swing. Red-hot racing, unexpected novelty turns plus managerial drive brought the customers in and by mid-season Redmond had hit the jackpot. Bob Quick, once a star rider, staged a come-back, this time as a promoter, and his snappy little stadium at Randfontein proved highly popular on the West Rand. Rain – and how it came down on Friday nights – was the spoil-sport at Wembley, Johannesburg. *** Main domestic competition was the National League won by Springs Stars from Wembley Lions.

  • Volume 5 No.2
    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume No. 5 . No. 2 September 2002 Edited by Graham Fraser and Jim Henry Subscribers : Speedway Badges Robin Playstead, 23 Eastfield, West Hill, Ottery St Mary, Devon, EX11 1XN Tel: 01404 815956 has responded to our request for an article on badges. Robin runs a club for badge collectors. No one is absolutely sure when speedway lapel badges were first made, but it was definitely very soon after the introduction of the sport into Great Britain in 1928. There is a badge for the first ever meeting on 19th February 1928 which shows on it ‘Kings Oak Europe’s Pioneer Speedway’ but again, when it was done, and, by whom, is a mystery. During the 1928 to 1939 period many tracks started up, and many of them produced badges, some in very small numbers, and some - like Belle Vue and Wembley - in large numbers because of the enormous attendances they drew in. The Wembley badges are amongst the most easy to obtain at reasonable prices, but the “red ace’ Belle Vue ones are much more difficult to find and attract a premium price. There is no definitive list of speedway badges but I and other collectors have tried to work together to keep each other aware of what is available. However, it is not unusual for previously unknown pre war specimens to turn up. Modern badges are usually sold at tracks. They are commonly made in both gilt and chrome. However, some tracks produce anything up to eight variations per year.

    Season 1965 Version 1.22 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 any “genuine” mistakes and/or any missing information such as race times, christian names, etc. Steve Wilkes/Gary Done E-mail: [email protected] Coventry v Cradley Heath Saturday 27th March 1965 (British League) coventry 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 pts bpts tpts 1.

  • The Story of the World Championship
    WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP THE STORY OF THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Heat 14 of the 1982 individual World Final is still being hotly debated by supporters today, some 30 years after Bruce Penhall and Kenny Carter clashed in their brutal battle in the Los Angeles Coliseum. It was the race that effectively decided the destiny of the 1982 title race ŝŶWĞŶŚĂůů͛ƐĨĂǀŽƵƌ͘͘͘ĂŶĚƐŵĂƐŚĞĚƚŚĞŚŽƉĞƐŽĨŶŐůŝƐŚƐƚĂƌƐĂƌƚĞƌĂŶĚ>ĞƐŽůůŝŶƐ͘ Collins, who went into the first ever final to be staged outside of Europe as the new Inter-Continental Champion, continued where he had left off in Vetlanda by defeating the heavily fancied pre-meeting favourite Penhall in their opening race. Collins, for once emerging from ƚŚĞƐŚĂĚŽǁŽĨŚŝƐďŝŐďƌŽƚŚĞƌWĞƚĞƌŽŶƚŚĞƐƉŽƌƚ͛ƐďŝŐŐĞƐƚŶŝŐŚƚŽĨƚŚĞLJĞĂƌ͕ĂĐƚƵĂůůLJŚĂĚƚŚĞĂƵĚĂĐŝƚLJĂŶĚƐŬŝůůƚŽƌĞ-pass Penhall to win a breathtaking fourth heat that set LA alight. With Carter making light work of a badly bruised lung sustained in a bad crash at Ipswich a few weeks earlier, hopes were high among the Brits that Penhall would be denied a second consecutive world title. But then it all unravelled in a dramatic Heat 14, the fourth round of races under the old 20-heat, one-off World Championship formula. It pitched the unbeaten Carter against Penhall, who had won his second and third outings to set up a crucial encounter that no scriptwriter in nearby Hollywood could ever have imagined. ,ĂůŝĨĂdž͛Ɛ͚<ŝŶŐ<ĞŶŶLJ͛ĂŶĚƌĂĚůĞLJ,ĞĂƚŚ͛Ɛ͛:ƵŝĐLJƌƵĐŝĞ͛ŚĂĚďĞĞŶĂƚůŽŐŐĞƌŚĞĂĚƐĨŽƌŵŽƌĞƚŚĂŶĂLJĞĂƌ͕ƐŝŶĐĞĂŶĞdžƉůŽƐŝǀĞƐĐrap during the 1981 Overseas Final at London White City ĞŶĚĞĚǁŝƚŚƚŚĞŵďŽƚŚŽŶƚŚĞĚĞĐŬ͘ĂƌƚĞƌŚĂĚďĞĞŶŶŐůĂŶĚ͛ƐŚŝŐŚĞƐƚƉůĂĐĞĚĨŝŶŝƐŚĞƌŝŶƚŚĞ͛ϴϭ World Final at Wembley, where Penhall was crowned champion for the first time, so the Yorkshire tyke sensed that his time had come for revenge over his American nemesis.
