The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 11 No.1 June 2008 Edition No.41 [Pages 12 – 13 Supplement] Hello Volume 11 Well here we are again and we‟ve enough subscribers to get on with this volume. There was enough in hand to spare the dreaded (?) avalanche of requests for information that comes with the renewal slips but rest assured that, if you are looking for help, that your questions will be covered in the next edition. Remember – contributions are always welcomed. Graham and Jim Can You Help? Terry Campbell, 01538 381602 is looking for information on the colour of the Belle Vue badge year bar for 1937. Terry thinks it may have been green. If you can confirm and happen to have one spare – contact Terry directly. Tom Marriot writes - Once again I am looking for information from England or America! The Restall Family had three boys who rode Speedway. Goldy being the most famous on the track but his older brother Bob rode the Night speedways on the Eastern seaboard of the USA and had the most interesting life although it was to end with his tragic death!. So can anyone tell me if they have any info on the following riders in the USA or Britain. Goldy Restall riding as either Goldy Lee or Curly Lee. Bob Restall riding as Bob Restall, Bob Lee or Speedy Lee. Bill Restall aka Billy Lee or Wild Bill Lee. While Goldy was the best speedway rider in the family Bob's life certainly has the best overall story which unfortunately lead to his premature death believe it or not looking for buried pirate treasure! Contact me at tmarriott@sympatico .ca Tactical Substitutes We continue the fine article by Paul Jeffries on the “Tacky Subs” rules over the years with a bang up to date look at the 2008 rule to finish. -

BAINBRIDGE, Ronald (Junior)
BAINBRIDGE, Ronald (Junior ) Born: April 19, 1924, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Died: November 5, 2000. Although he hailed from Melbourne, ‘Junior’ was spotted riding in Brisbane by former Australian international Charlie Spinks in 1946, and came to Britain the following year to join Glasgow. Despite being somewhat overshadowed in his time on the Scottish scene by riders such as Tommy Miller and Jack Young, ‘Junior’ was a mainstay of the ‘Tigers’ team until the end of the 1953 season when the club sold him to Ipswich to help clear the debts incurred during the year. During that time he consistently recorded averages of over eight points per match and proved to be a hugely popular figure on the White City terraces. His best season in the red and white came in 1951 when he achieved an average of 8.95 and by the time the track closed he had scored 37 maximums for the club despite a fractured knee cap sustained in 1952 which threatened to end his career. When the ‘Tigers’ ran into financial difficulties and were compelled to put Junior and Tommy Miller up for sale, he moved to Ipswich for a £500 fee but a change of track failed to lessen his scoring power and he filled a heat leader role in his first three years at Foxhall Heath, with his scores actually surpassing the figures he had achieved at Glasgow. The amalgamation of the leagues in 1957 saw him ride in the top flight for the first time since his arrival in the U.K. more than a decade earlier, but despite occasional flashes of form, he struggled to maintain his average and returned to Australia at the end of the year. -
Volume 13 No.3 December 2010 Edition No.51
The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 13 No.3 December 2010 Edition No.51 The Last Meeting at Walthamstow Alan Bates recalls the last meeting at the short lived venue which is or is due to be demolished and redeveloped. Speedway was introduced to Walthamstow on 16th August 1934 when the Lea Bridge Promotion was switched from Leyton. Eight meetings were staged at the Chingford Road track that season but the sport did not return then next year. It wasn‟t until 1949 that the track re-opened and Walthamstow joined the National League Second Division, the only London team operating at that level. They followed with two more seasons at the same level. Due to many factors, especially runaway home wins which caused attendances to drop and the high entertainment tax, the track closed after the 1951 season. In all, 96 meetings were staged at Walthamstow and, of the 90 team matches, 71 were won, 2 drawn and 17 lost. There were 6 open meetings (World Championship rounds etc) and during that time only 1 meeting was rained off (v Oxford on 6th August 1951). The final match was a Second Division fixture against Edinburgh on Monday 8th October 1951. The Wolves could only hope for third place in the final table if Edinburgh lost 2 of their last four matches and if Coventry lost 1 of their last 2 matches. Jack Young, the recently crowned World Champion, who had notched 4 maximums from his previous 5 League matches, won the first heat with partner Harold Fairhurst second to give the Monarchs a 5 – 1 lead. -

1 OBJECTIONS SUBMITTED on PLANNING APPLICATION No R18
OBJECTIONS SUBMITTED ON PLANNING APPLICATION No R18/0186 BY THE SAVE COVENTRY SPEEDWAY AND STOX CAMPAIGN – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Planning Application No: Site Address: Description of the proposal: R18/0186 COVENTRY STADIUM Demolition of existing buildings and RUGBY ROAD outline planning application for COVENTRY residential development of up to 137 WARWICKSHIRE dwellings (Use Class C3) including CV8 3GJ means of access from the Rugby Road, new open space and associated infrastructure. All other matters reserved. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Save Coventry Speedway and Stox Campaign is an umbrella grouping of people who wish to see the long heritage of Speedway and Stock Car Racing in Coventry / Rugby continue, and be returned to the iconic Brandon (aka Coventry) Stadium as soon as possible. The Save Coventry Speedway and Stox Campaign wishes to place on record the strongest possible objections to Planning Application R18/0186, which would result in the loss and redevelopment of Brandon Stadium. The grounds of objections are as follows: 1. The proposals are directly contrary to the provisions of both the existing development plan (the Core Strategy, adopted 2011) and its emerging review (the Rugby Borough Local Plan, 2011- 2031, Publication Draft, September 2016). 2. The housing proposals conflict with the Green Belt designation of the site. 3. The housing proposals are contrary to the provisions of national planning policy, which seeks to protect sports facilities from development. 4. 'Fixing Our Broken Housing Market' and ‘Planning for Growth’ provide no grounds to support the housing proposals. 1 5. Brandon Stadium was, and remains, a viable use for the site. 6.
