The thing that strikes me looking at speedway of 50-60 years ago...the huge "cow horn" handlebars.

Got most of 'The Memories' series of DVDs...great stuff! Apparently there is soon to be released footage of Oxford & White City 'Rebels'...can't wait!

waiheke1 4,295 Posted November 6, 2017 A horrible memory was seeing Reading get battered at Hyde Rd i think it was 57-23...? the Aces had a terrific team Mckinna/Courtney at reserve that shows how strong there team was.53-25 that season, one of 14 times the aces topped the 50 point mark that year I do remember in 82 they bartered them by s bigger score, possibly a ko cup match?

The White Knight 9,039 Posted November 6, 2017 I see a 'Memories of Coventry Speedway' DVD has just been released...I will catch up with it in time. I wish they could do a 'Memories of Sunderland Speedway' DVD. Sadly there isn't enough material as far as I am aware. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The White Knight 9,039 Posted November 7, 2017 Could do a 5 minute spot on Look North. I doubt there would be enough footage to do even that much. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
