The meeting took so long because of the numerous crashes and resulting delays as riders and bikes were checked over.
In all the other races the two minutes warning was on for the next race as the riders from the previous race were riding back along turns 1-2 into the pits so its not like they were slow with it.
8.15 - whats the problem? It will have allowed a lot more people to make it to the meeting. I live in Leicestershire and would have really struggled to make a 7pm start as some have suggested. Not everyone can get time off work to go to a speedway meeting.
I'm going to brave this out with my two kids - 7 and 4! Must be mad. Is the grandstand a free for all to get in or is it reserved etc?? Never seem to be available when we go to Cov recently.

Hi Czechhero
I've got the Daily Mirror Speedway Yearbooks for 1976-81 (I think) so I can have a look in there for you as they had all scores, averages etc in for any touring sides. They're all in the loft though so it will have to wait until tomorrow night if that's okay.
I'll see how much info I can gather for you from them.
Cheers
Alan
