Try these examples from Newcastle 1983. Oxford away- Joe Owen and Rod Hunter scored 20 points each (both paid 21 maximums) in a 49-47 win, at Weymouth KOC meeting, Rod Hunter with a 21 point maximum and Joe Owen 14 points from a 41-55 loss, or at Exeter Joe Owen 19 and Rod Hunter 17 points in a 42-54 loss.

That’s correct. Match was ridden on 9 June 1974. Workington won 40-38 with Alan Cowland 14, Mitch Graham 13 and Mal Mackay 12 out of a total of 40 !

Hi there. As part of my reserch into the 1981season, can anybody confirm which heats Bruce Cribb rode in this meeting ? The yearbook states that Bruce rode in the meeting and failed to score, whist the heat details published in the Speedway Star doesn't mention Bruce Cribb at all ! Does anybody have an completed programme from the meeting to confirm what heat(s) Cribby rode in ? Thanks for reading.

Hi Steve As compiler of the season files from 1965 (as per Speedway researcher website) I appreciate your comments - we are doing our best to keep the history alive. Steve

Hi there. As I am nearing the end of my research into the 1980 season, can anybody help with the following queries - I require confirmation from a marked programme from the actual meeting (not copied from the Speedway Star). 1. Mildenhall Anglia League Junior Championship -17 September. According to Speedway Star and Speedway Mail - Linden Warner as a reserve scores 2 points, 1 in heat 1 and the other in heat 19, whilst the Yearbook states Warner just scored 1 point, both the Speedway Star and Speedway Mail say 2 points. If it is 1 point in which heat was it scored ? Also did Tony Brooks or Chris Tritton ride in this meeting ? Yearbook states Tritton rode, whilst both the Speedway Star and Speedway Mail state it was Brooks. 2. Oxford v Edinburgh - 21 September. I need clarification in which heats Chris Turner was excluded under the 2 minute rule as these are not mentioned in the heat details published in the Speedway Star, or on the Speedway Researcher website. Turner was scheduled to appear in heats 3, 7 and 13 but in which 2 heats was he excluded ? Hopefully someone can help. Thanks for reading. Steve

Thanks for your help - any takers for the Swindon heat results I requested last week ?

Hi there - its my final 1980 query ! I need require confirmation of Peter Prinsloo and Valclav Verner's scores in their guest appearances for Sheffield v Belle Vue. The Speedway Star state Prinsloo and Verner scored 8 and 7 points respectively which tie in with the heat details published in the Speedway Star and Speedway Mail together with the Speedway Researcher website. The speedway yearbook advise that Verner scored 8 and Prinsloo 7 points. This suggests that the heat placings in heat 5 or 9 published in the Speedway Star were reversed. Does anybody have a completed programme to confirm the correct heat placings ? Thanks for reading.

Thanks very much - Another query ticked off.

Hi there. Does anybody have the heat results and times for this meeting ? No heat results were published in the Speedway Star - help would be appeciated. Thanks for reading. Steve

Thanks for the information Speedboy.

Hi there. As part of my ongoing research into the 1980 season, can anybody resolve the following query please ? I need to clarify Barney Kennett's and Kevin Brice's points scored in this meeting. The Speedway Star states that Kennett scored 7 and Brice 2 points respectively. however the Peter Oakes yearbook and the Speedway Mail states that Kennett scored 6 and Brice 3 points. The issue appears to lie in Heat 7 on whom finished third and fourth for Canterbury. Does anybody have a completed programme from this meeting to confirm the correct placings and points scored for Kennett and Brice ? In same meeting, can it be confirmed that Denzil Kent rode as a Tactical Sub in heat 10 as the Speedway Star heat details show Kent only scoring 6 points instead of 7 points as reported in the yearbook and Speedway Mail. Thanks for reading.

Thanks Cityrebel. This proves the yearbook is wrong ! Cheers

Over to you Cityrebel - different scores for Barney Kennett and Denzil Kent. Could you check your programme ? - according to Dave's scan Kennett scores 9, Kent 5 and Brice 2 ! Cheers.

Mustn’t work on iphone - will try on my PC

Hi Dave. Link does not work !

Thanks for this Gustix - unfortunately the details are copied from the heat results published in Speedway Star. Does anybody have a completed race card from this meeting?

Hi there. Can anybody confirm whether Les Collins rode for England in this meeting. The Speedway Mail and Yearbook advise that Les rode and scored 0 points (as a reserve). His brother Peter also rode in this meeting and the heat details published in the Speedway Star advise that Collins finished 4th in Heat 13 (was this Les after Peter was excluded for 2 minutes or tapes offence ?). Does anybody has a completed programme from this meeting to confirm ? Thanks

Just spotted rsargant’s post and answer ! Thanks - I didn’t read the thread properly! Drrrrr.........

Hi there. After a little bit of research I have found out this meeting attracted a crowd of 9,000 (wow !) and all the programmes were sold. I am still looking for an answer to my query. In view of the above crowd figures surely someone has a completed programme from this meeting ! Fingers crossed.

Hi there. Can anybody confirm the which heats Ian Clark and Colin Cook rode for Leicester in this meeting please ? The heat details published in the Speedway Star advise that Ian Clark scored 6 points whilst Colin Cook scored 1 point. It looks like Ian Clark replaced Colin Cook in either heat 6 or 10 not both heats as advised in the Speedwat Star. Does anybody has a completed programme to confirm which heats actually Colin Cook rode ? Thanks for reading. Steve

Query now resolved.

Thanks to both of you. The hunt continues !

Thanks for this. Over to Elmo to clarify ?

Thanks - Hopefully you have the programme. fingers crossed !

Does any have a completed programme from this meeting to confirm whether Ian Fletcher (listed as reserve) rode in this meeting ? The heat details published in the Speedway Star show no mention of Fletcher in them, yet the Speedway Star, Speedway Mail and Yearbook confirm he did ride and scored nil points. Can anybody confirm whether Fletcher rode and if so, in which heats ? Thanks
