    The most bizarre programme quiz ever?

    The quiz ran for 4 weeks from 18th April until 9th May. The numbers grid remained the same. The results of each quiz were: 18th April - Barry Briggs (12), Ole Olsen (3) and Clive Hitch (48). 25th April - Jim McMillan (30), Ivan Mauger (1) and Jimmy Gooch (96). 2nd May - Soren Sjosten (19), Roy Trigg (6) and Bernie Persson (24). 9th May - Bengt Larrson (11), Bruce Cribb (10) and Ronnie Genz (95). Theories: 1. Entrants made their picks and the promotion simply selected the winners at random and allocated the numbers thereafter. 2. There was a predetermined list of riders and numbers and it was just your luck whether you were correct or not. Either way there was no logic involved. Could it have been a mad attempt to encourage programme sales?

    Heat results 1982 required

    No problem. I've also spotted a typo in the 30th April Glasgow Silver Helmet races - the time for heat two was 58.8 (NTR), not 58.0.

    Arena-Essex & Hackney 1988

    Asking on behalf of a friend - both teams used only 8 of their own riders throughout the season but did either use any guests?

    21/06/1979 Wimbledon v Mildenhall Junior Challenge

    Any idea of the 8th July result?
  7. Does anyone have the result of this junior match, a 13-heat affair staged in the second half of the Wimbledon Pairs event?

    Old Maps - Speedway Track Spotting

    According to the 11/10/1987 B.L.R.C. programme the Belle Vue track record was 66.4 shared by Chris Morton (set 29/7/83) and Erik Gundersen (14/10/84). It wasn't beaten in the B.L.R.C. or any of the subsequent matches at Hyde Road which I've found details for so unless it was lowered in the 17/10/87 double header with Oxford & Hackney (the only meetings I haven't been able to check) that's how it stood at closure.
