daveallan81 330 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) I have 2 meetings from 1978 that didn't run to an obvious heat formula: 9th September at Canterbury: Townsend Thoresen Pairs - 6 pairs over 15 heats. 21st October at Canterbury: Invicta Pairs - same formula as above. 9th June at Bristol: v British League Select - 2 x 7 riders over 12 heats. 8th October at Eastbourne: v Poole (Colin Gooddy Testimonial) - 2 x 8 riders, 14 heats plus 1 nominated 26th October at Wimbledon: Farewell Pairs - 5 pairs over 10 heats. 28th October at Canterbury: Graham Banks Memorial (Individual)- 13 riders over 13 heats, 2 x SF & Final. I'm looking for the riding order and/or the heat formulas for these meetings if anyone can oblige. Edited March 5, 2015 by daveallan81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveallan81 330 Posted January 31, 2015 Many thanks for that Falcon Hammer. I'm only tackling 1978, it's coming together slowly but surely. There are still a lot of queries to be answered, I reckon it will be around the middle of the year at the earliest before it's ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon Hammer 576 Posted January 31, 2015 Many thanks Dave. Am trying to sort out info for the years 77-86 myself, but not easy as my mum threw away my old Speedway Stars. Still got my yearbooks & progs tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveallan81 330 Posted February 2, 2015 Can I confirm that it was Alan Johns and not Roger who rode in the Graham Banks Memorial? Both Star and yearbook report Alan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveallan81 330 Posted February 5, 2015 I thought I'd post this in here, sort of on-topic. This is a list of meetings which ran to a standard formula but require the riding order of each pair to be clarified. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jjzc7126ebl44nu/1978REQDRidingOrders.pdf?dl=0 The file contains the competitors as I have them, any input much appreciated as ever.

For the two Reading meetings: Best Pairs 5 Wassermann 6 Underwood 7 Leigh 8 Humphreys no reserves I remember this one well - Swindon refused to ride and the home riders rode in an impromptu Best Pairs event that was eventually called to a halt after 10 races. (I think 12 were planned - I have the line-up for an unridden heat 11 in my prog) Do you want the line-ups for the Reading and Swindon teams? Nulli Secundus: 3 Weatherly 4 Niemi 9 Bob Humphreys (programmed at reserve replaced Larry Ross) 10 Richardson reserves Humphreys and Ian Gledhill (per blank prog so unconfirmed) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
