andout

August 19th 1959 New Cross first meeting. This may not have been my first meeting but the first one I can remember going to and actually filling in the programme. Heat result: R. Moore, Craven, White, Brine.......Two World champions in my first race..All gone now, others in that NX team...P Moore, Genz, C Roger, Dunton....all gone too. Only Bjorn Knutsson is still alive. And yes I use the "ss" because that is how Bjorn had it, never changed it until recent years. And out of the Wimbledon team only Bob Andrews is still alive.

Oh dear....10 for me!

And another one gone as John Louis is no more.....very sad.

Great to have it back up and up-to-date.....

My post was three years ago.....I still have the programmes in my collection.

Speedway Live updates.... https://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/22223/oxford-leicester-ndl-final-2023?page=1&scrollTo=453234

I may just have a couple lying around.....I do have ALL the programmes you want but in my own collection except Teterow 2023.....Give me a little time and I'll go on a search for you.

Sorry, by your comment I thought you lived somewhere other than Europe / UK and I live in Canada. However the cost of postage from Canada is prohibitively expensive so sending you stuff from here is just not on.

Where are you located?

Not being picky here but Doyle didn't "make the cut" he won the GP Challenge so will be rightfully there.

Anyone know if a programme was already printed for this?

No idea... OK I got it.......

Well, my mother talked of Farndon often....her favourite rider in those days, my mother incidentally used to go to Speedway six times a week ALL in London! And yes, I did hear people talking about him at NX in the '60s.

Friday 11/8 is the SON2 U21 Speedway of Nations, Poland are, of course, the reigning champs.

I assume you mean Speed - Fight - Excitement!

That is not really the way it worked, GB had the the last choice....Zmarzlik and Madsen were already in heat 19......could have been any GB rider in that heat. It was manager's choice.

This meeting starts at 8:00PM according to sportowefacty. They did say yesterday it would start one hour later.

Yes, I do remember both now.....I remember looking at the track from the top...... As an aside weren't a few people killed when the "Bobs" coaster left the track at one time? Seem to have some memory of that.

Now I'm confused, yes I know, that is easy for me.......wasn't what you call the scenic Railway the "Bobs" or am I totally confused? If I am then yes I remember BOTH!

I can safely say then "You are going to the dogs"!

How the heck do you remember dropping your Hot Dog, I can't even remember what I had for Dinner last night! All I really remember from the Fairgrounds was the "Bobs"....enjoyed that. Speedway was great there.....think I first went in about 1961 and saw the at least the first eight BLRC's.

Has to be the Plymouth track, as I have just found out above!

Costa Mesa is much smaller.....New Cross was 262yards, Costa Mesa is 185yards. In terms of racing they don't really compare if my memory serves me correctly, New Cross was a long time ago....however it was faster BUT in my opinion Costa Mesa is more exciting for the fans, especially when they have eight riders on the track. And not to mention fans are much closer to the action than New Cross. Anyone else have a view on this?

Try this one Chunky.....lost mine too....this one works. https://vk.com/video/lives?live=1&q=speedway&z=video-53550004_456241275%2Fpl_cat_lives

Every team seems to need Bomber at some time or other.....wonder how many "Guest" bookings he will get this year?
