    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.

  • Volume 4 No.3
    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume No. 4 . No. 3 December 2001 Edited by Graham Fraser and Jim Henry Subscribers : 200 We welcome articles on modern or post war venues and start this edition with an item about a hazy Midlands venue which flourished in the late 1940s and early 1950s. THE TRACK AMONGST THE TREES Part 1 : The First Two Seasons Philip Pike has penned an article about the post war Midlands venue, Tamworth and in this edition we cover the first two seasons 1947 and 1948. The article will be completed in the next edition. If you drive along the A5 through Fazeley towards Nuneaton, on the right hand side of the road you will see some houses set behind some trees. This is where the Tamworth speedway track was situated, close to Drayton Manor, which was at one time the home Sir Robert Peel who founded the police force. Set amongst the trees the Deer Park Stadium exuded a friendly ambience that was, at the time, missing from those tracks located in an urban setting. The track measured 352 yards and the team for the opening 1947 season were known as “The Hounds.” The race jacket (which was the subject of much debate in The Speedway Researcher) had a red greyhound in full flight on top of blue and white halves. The promoter was former rider Arthur “Westy” Westwood who appointed Australian Steve Langton as team captain. Langton had raced in Britain in the pre-war days turning out for Lea Bridge, Hackney Wick and Birmingham.

  • 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.

  • Norman Hunter & Gary Peterson I'll Never Forgive
    THE VERY BEST OF speedway plus 2009 Norman Hunter & Gary Peterson I’ll Never Forgive Kenny McKinna Quantum of Shale Extract Track Pix: Torun, I.M.S & More Milton Keynes: The Final Season Cardiff 2009: Newcomer’s View www.speedwayplus.com Milton Keynes...The Final Season In early February, help came from a most unlikely source - Exeter. Exeter promoters Colin Hill and Roger Jones stepped in and agreed a deal with Cheney that would see them run the team, while he retained control of the track and stadium. Jones, who had actually been sacked as Milton Keynes promoter by Cheney a few years earlier, would take control at Milton Keynes while Hill would concentrate on activities at Exeter. The Exeter promotion had a number of motives for getting involved. The Knights were actually their nearest rivals in the second division and they didn't want to become even more isolated, they also had unused rider assets that were of little value if they weren't employed and it's also fair to say they acted out of concern for the sport as a whole. Another lost track was the last thing that the sport needed - Wimbledon and Hackney had Peter Glanz just closed and Peterborough were only saved by the intervention of Peter Oakes and James Easter. At the beginning of 1992 the future of the Milton Keynes Knights was looking very bleak indeed. Milton Keynes was not actually the first choice They just had come through a traumatic 1991 venue for Jones and Hill. Their initial target had season which had seen them temporarily close been Mildenhall, where speedway had not been mid-season due to financial problems, only being staged the previous year.
