KevH 257 Posted October 11, 2005 Sounds very interesting - has anyone got any details? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanne 0 Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) Isn't Backtrack and Vintage Speedway magazines speedway history mags? Not a very good idea having too many. Surely more people would be interested in magazines with just statistics in them. Not my cup of tea but I know at least one bloke who would be racing to the newsagent to buy it Edited October 12, 2005 by Joanne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andout 667 Posted October 12, 2005 The only magazine (sort of) that I could think of is the Free downloadable version on the SpeedwayPlus website....the second Free issue is there now for downloading. http://www.speedwayplus.co.uk/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwoMinuteWarning 69 Posted October 12, 2005 Looks like it's a Howard Jones magazine, but not out yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keepturningleft 589 Posted October 14, 2005 I'm sure this will be a magazine from the stable of Howard Jones. Mr Jones had produced some good magazines in the past especially on defunct tracks. Unfortunately, the most recent publications have been of poor technical quality ie: non glossy paper which means poor resolution of printed photographs. I wish Mr Jones well, but I rather think he will now find it difficut to compete with glossy, high quality mags like Backtrack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwoMinuteWarning 69 Posted October 14, 2005 I tend to agree, Backtrack and VSM (not forgetting Speedway Researcher!) seem to have the speedway history scene well-covered already. However, we shall see! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The technical quality does not match Backtrack or VSM as you say, but I can put up with that, its the regular changing of direction and delays in getting the magazines out which give me the problem. I am sure his Speedway History magazine is one I subscribed to over two years ago, but had to ask for my money back as nothing ever materilaised. I wish him well too as there is not enough speedway literature about for the Speedway fan imo, and I admire his endeavours,but won't hold my breath on this one. If he had a website set up it might help! Edited October 15, 2005 by FenTiger76 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moxey63 1,785 Posted October 18, 2005 Howard Jones, was he not a pop star from the eighties. I wonder how many times he has heard that! I received my copy of the new Speedway History Magazine this morning and was impressed. The paper, text and picture (colour and bw) quality are a vast improvement on The Speedway Years, which I presume, will be revamped now a different printer has come on board. The Speedway History Magazine also has some fine contributions from the likes of Dick Barrie (remember him?), Cyril Hart and Glynn Shailes included. My honest opinion is that it is one of Speed-away Promotions finest offerings - and I practically have them all - and is a necessity for those, like me, who will always dig a little deeper in the pocket for a slice of nostalgia. FenTiger76, I would re-subscribe if I were you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
