BOBBATH 466 Posted September 17, 2019 Firstly thanks to Dave Allan, BL65 , Norbold and other historians (sorry gustix!) for all their research. Reg Fearman ( a great speedway historian and a stickler for accuracy in his own right) recently sent me a copy of a poster advertising a WCQR meeting at West Ham from years ago and listing the riders-the date was August 30th. It was either 1949 or 1950-Reg is pretty sure it was 1949-he's probably right but I don't know. Can somebody post the riders scores and heat details for whichever year it was . Again many thanks to all forumlanders for keeping the history of our wonderful sport alive and accurate. Does anyone know the details of this meeting and which year it took place, it was obviously a tremendous field of riders-if only those days could come back!!!

Guest Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Obviously I was not intended to intervene here!!!! Joke!!! West Ham raced home meetings on a Tuesday. In 1949 the date was August 30. In 1950 the day was a Wednesday. Details of the 1949 meeting on the ultra-excellent Speedway Researcher website http://www.speedwayresearcher.org.uk/westham1949.pdf Edited September 17, 2019 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
