Remember in '65/66 we were the team that the new structure in the Shawcross Report was based on. Provincial League teams had to strengthen up to us, and the British League had to drop to our level. Great days and great support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great days and great support. Remember 63 , top4 to final ,riders protested about last 2 qualifiers as 5 riders had same points and they hadn't raced each other in meeting due to format,Jimmy Squibb led the protest and sat at tapes,so the had a run off to decide last 2 Ross Gilbertson and George Hunter got through.( they were the original finalists before protest ).Ivan had a bit of luck as Hunter bike packed up when leading final.Great meetings though.

That was my first 'away' meeting. I remember Clive Featherby being one of the group of riders on 12 points, I think. Disappointed that he didn't win it, but Ivan deserved it.
