Updated with the latest issues of Speedway Star that I am looking for (see above)

I am now looking to buy the following two issues of BackTrack magazine if you have them for sale: Issue 81 (July-August 2017) Issue 85 (March - April 2018) Please message me if you have either for sale. Many thanks.

To get to individual riders points and heat details for 1998, I suspect that the only current source would be copies of Speedway Star magazines for that year. You can buy them on eBay but individual magazines can be expensive to buy. Your best bet is to see if someone wants to sell a collection of Speedway Star magazines that includes the 1998 season.

I've looked back through my early 1981Workington home programmes and subsequent meetings state that Ian Hindle held the track record of 74.5 seconds that he broke at the 29/3/81 meeting. I have also checked the completed scoresheet in the 29/3/81 Workington v Edinburgh programme for that meeting and Heat 4's time was written as 74.5 seconds. As Ian Hindle did not race in Heat 6 of that meeting, I do think that it was Heat 4 where he broke the track record. FYI. My copy of the scoresheet for that meeting has the time of Heat 6 as 75.0 seconds.

Speedway Researcher has the full meeting details: workington1981.pdf (speedwayresearcher.org.uk) Heat 4 74.5 Heat 6 74.8

The Gorzow one is available for sale on eBay but the bidding currently stands at £14! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-GORZOW-GRAND-PRIX-11-12-1X-2020-BLANK-SPEEDWAY-PROGRAMME/373328059292?hash=item56ec161b9c:g:mRYAAOSwrXhfqQgu

I posted this on Facebook yesterday. The Comets may not be racing at the moment but they are certainly not forgotten. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1047179342384636&set=gm.1670117523147657
