I don't actually remember it being used (or at least designated) much past the early '70's.

Have checked in a 1997 prog. Supp. reserves are clearly marked. It was a one off season with six man teams that had only one reserve, so an SR was designated for those occasions when the reserve needed replacing.

I have the Alan Robertson version...a great publication with many anecdotal references as does his follow up publication.

Ah, I have the Morrish edition...

The British League race formula was changed for 1969, with teams then having two reserves instead of one reserve and a supplementary reserve in the seven-man teams.

Thanks for that. I said early '70's, but I was thinking 1969!
