I will have these.I will post the heat results, etc on the forum over the weekend (Swindon trip permitting !) Steve

Hi there. As part of my research into the 1975 season does anybody have the heat times for this meeting Unfortunately the Speedway Star did not publish the times, does anybody have a completed programme with this info ? Thanks for reading.

Thanks Speedboy. Another hole filled ! Steve

I remember Bobby Duncan regularly riding demo laps before and after the meeting at Stoke in the early 80's - he would have been about 12 years old !.

I think you are referring to the 1983 Diamonds, Averages -Joe Owen 11.10 Rod Hunter 10.50 & Bobby Beaton 10.20 the three combined to score over 1,500 points over the season !

Hi there. Myself and partner are considering going to King's Lynn tomorrow. We both have tickets but are concerned whether to make the journey due to the weather. This will involve a long drive from Cheshire and an overnight stay (a total journey of over 300 miles). As the weather has been awful and a lot of rain has fallen we are cautious about going and attending an rain off. On the assumption the meeting would be restaged on Tuesday we would not be able to attend. Does anybody local to King's Lynn have any idea of the condition of the track and the local weather (current and tomorrow ?). Knowing BSI they will try to get the meeting on, but I would like to see some racing rather than a gaters paradise due to track preparation. Any comments please ? Thanks

Hi there Does anybody have the heat results/times for this meeting ? These details were not printed in the Speedway Star/Mail. Can anybody help please ? Cheers Steve

Hi there As part of my research into the 1975 season I am trying to confirm the points scored by Ila Teromaa in this meeting. The heat results in both the Speedway Star and Mail state Teromaa scored 6 points yet the final points shows 7 points. Does anybody have a completed programme from this meeting to confirm the correct points scored please? Thanks for reading. Steve

Hi there. It appears I don't have these details. The Speedway Star decided for some reason not to publish any details about this meeting ! Sorry I can't help, if anybody has got the heat results and times I would like them too ! Steve

Hi there. I am looking for some information regarding the following Weymouth home meetings from 1962. They are: 3 August V Rye House (challenge) 31 August V London (challenge) There is no mention of these meetings in the Speedway Star's results section. Can anybody confirm if these meetings were ever staged or postponed ? If they were raced, does anybody have the result, heat details, times, etc I hope you can help. Thanks for reading. Steve
