In 1975 a new and simple scoring system which eliminated bonus points was presented to the BSPA by the late John Berry. Mr Berry was impressed when it was presented to him in his office at Foxhall, and subsequently took the said system to a meeting a few weeks later. Apparently, a copy was presented to everyone and sadly only two promoters took the time to even read it.
That was the moment when i realised British Speedway in the long term was probably doomed...
