TwoMinuteWarning 69 Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) Oh, I love quizzes! Is there a prize??? R/R was introduced on 27 June 1966 (details in Speedway Star issue dated 24 June 1966). It was requested by the Speedway Riders Association, allegedly from an idea by Olle Nygren. Edited December 15, 2004 by TwoMinuteWarning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted December 15, 2004 How about double R/R? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Meynell 2 Posted December 16, 2004 How about double R/R? Wasn't that a John Berry innovation, so I guess that would have been introduced sometime in the 1970s? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greybear 7 Posted December 19, 2004 (edited) I thought Rider Replacement was the alter ego of Dag Lovaas who allegedly signed for White City circa 1977, didn't ride for them at all during the season & they went on to win the league Edited December 19, 2004 by greybear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
