  10. Races were all over by the first bend, only two races where riders changed postions. I wouldn't go to watch it every week. Was a good spectacle with the veterans display and should improve next year with more spectators from overseas coming. The War and Sars apparenting affected numbers. Good to see a few old faces there, people I hadn't seen for twenty years or so.

    Who was Raymond Humphries?

    found this on a site about the english hangmen Assistant executioners. There were many more names on the Home Office list of approved executioners over the period covered but they only acted as assistants and are, thus, not always recorded. Amongst the better known of these was Sid Dernley who assisted at 25 executions between 1949 and 1954 and also wrote a book called "The Hangman's Tale" detailing his experiences. Sid Dernley died in 1996.

    Yes thanks Norbold. I dont know if I should carry this on here either, dont know what the rules are nowadays. Banked your cheque yesterday, I'll advertise your books in the next issue. That will be the 3rd issue as the second one I'm running out of room, I'm up to 36 pages. If I start this as a new subject to see if there's any interest should I be in Years gone by or speedway discussions?

    Yes I'm fine only looked at the forum a couple of times this year and couldn't find anything new to comment on. I've started a new magazine up, similar to vintage speedway magazine I suppose, only focusing on NZ riders so thats taken up most of my spare time. I've also joined our local Speedway Riders Club, and after questioning the flag marshalls efforts find myself as the new Track Steward for this coming season. So I'm off to a seminar this weekend to learn a bit more. I'm up to date with the SGP as we get a video sent to us the week following the event. I find I'm cheering on Scott Nicholls more and more. So there you go. If you want a magazine subscription, 10 pounds a year, 6 issues. Norbold has one. Ask what he thinks of it.I haven't asked him myself yet. Email me at robnade@ihug.co.nz if your interested.

    Staggered starts 6+ in a race.

    We always had six in a race in NZ in the 60s and 70s both handicap and gate starts. Dad was off 120yds in those days. In the Sixties we didnt have starting gates just a big Rubber band.

    Racing Clockwise

    Its a bit difficult to have your arm outstretched, keep your balance and control a throttle at the same time,especially when the handlebars were longer and the you had more turn on the throttle , and like you say bikes would have been set up initally for right handers.
  21. He probably heard you were paying for the Russians accomodation, They were getting more than him. Try inviting Bjorn Knutsson, he's more famous than Knutson anyway.

  23. Jill, sorry to here about Russell passing away, I think dad rung Ruth the other day. I only met Russell once or twice when I was very young, but always remember him as CHCH speedway, the two went together. I think dad has some cine film of Russell and the kids (your husband) when their were little, from when dad rode down at CHCH in the mid 60's. Robert Andrews
  24. Funny how the 61 final programme at Malmo has him spelt with 2 s' .
