The Oxford files on Speedway Researcher show no track records were set in 1972. However in 1973 George Hunter is credited with a TR of 65.4 in heat 2 of the Midland Riders QR on 10/05/1973. So it appears the track was changed between the 72 & 73 seasons. Ole Olsen lowered it to 65.2 in heat 6 of the Champions' £100 Trophy on 19th July.

Ach I should have spotted the Bradley typo! Splendid stuff, thanks again.

As always I'm looking for help with the following: 04/04 Oxford - programme says Easter Cup Trophy won by Jack Young but I have a fixture entitled North v South with result 44-52. No mention of any event on this date in Speedway Researcher file. Can anyone shed light on this one? 26/05 Wimbledon - fixture described merely as 'Open'. It was cancelled due to the London bus strike. What was this proposed meeting, individual, pairs, etc?? 26/05 Exeter - Open Championship - was result a tie between Ronnie Genz & Dick Bradley or was there an outright winner? 10/06 Southampton - Southern Riders Championship QR - Winner: Ove Fundin CONFIRM DATE & RESULT 15/07 Southampton - World Championship British QR - Winner: Ronnie Genz CONFIRM DATE & RESULT 19/08 Southampton - World Championship British SF - Winner: Jack Geran CONFIRM DATE & RESULT

Great help as always, many thanks.

Cheers Sidney.

The 1971 season file on Speedway Researcher lists the Halifax side as 1. Eric Boocock 2. Greg Kentwell 3. Dave Younghusband 4. Dave Durham 5. .Paul O'Neil 6. Malcolm Mackay 7. Terry Lee Heat 7 is noted as Boocock, Keen, O'Neil, Broadbank. However Halifax are not 6 behind at this point so Boocock could only have ridden as rider replacement. I suspect Dave Durham is at #8 but who was R/R in operation for? I also suspect Paul O'Neil actually rode at #4 with R/R at #5. Can anyone confirm the Halifax line-up?

Cheers.

Thanks for that. I thought that might be the case with Joe owen but just wanted to double check. Cheers.

Can someone clarify why Jan Mucha did not appear to ride in this meeting? Was he replaced by first reserve Ryszard Fabiszewski who also didn't ride?

Many thanks.

A couple of queries if anyone can help: 15th August World Team Cup Final - Victor Ludorum heat details 5th September Embassy British Open - meeting reserves

Unfortunately, no. I haven't done much work on the AJL so all I have are the basic results from the yearbooks and Speedway Star. 1982 is incomplete and I have nothing from the final season, 1985. If you PM your email address I'll happily pass on what I have.

Bump

Can anyone provide me with the outcome of the following junior challenge matches from 1985. none of which feature in the yearbook. 6th August Barrow v Birmingham 20th August Barrow v King's Lynn 5th September Sheffield v Wolverhampton v Cradley Heath v Halifax 27th September Birmingham Wheels Junior Championship

Thanks Arnie. Buxton had a U.S.A. Style Speedway event postponed on 9th October so you're recalling well. The Poole ghost fixture is listed here http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/may11 but doesn't feature in their results & scorers here http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/news.php?extend.11043

I'm looking for information on a couple of fixtures: 11th May at Poole - shown on SGB site as Poole v Reserved and a result of 50-37. Who were the opponents? 16th October at Leicester - Junior Open Championship - was it run and if so who was the winner?

Sorry, can't help with these - my Speedway Stars stop at the end of 1984. I'm sure someone else will be able to give you the information you need.

Thanks.

Do you recall the source of that result? Star, programme, etc?

Bump

My results list records this result as 39-53. The SGB website records the same result and the final CL table appears to incorporate it. However the 2008 Yearbook records the result as 39-54 and the league table appears to concur. The Stoke scorers are recorded as follows: Branney 13, Dore 10, Evans 8, Isherwood 7, Legg 7, Priest 6 & Kendrew 3, = 54. Can anyone confirm the match result?
