Do you know the track record, holder and date set please?

1974 Brian Foote Steve Clarke Clive Hitch Trevor Barnwell George Barclay Peter Moore Bob Young John Gibbons Bob Cooper Pete Wigley Les Ott Stan Stevens Allan Emmett 1975 Brian Foote Hugh Saunders Bob Cooper Chris Mackett Kelvin Mullarkey David Beech John Gibbons Bob Young Dingle Brown Karl Fiala John Waldrab Barry Duke Steve Clarke Does that help?

If you mean the Swindon v Exeter league meeting the score was 48-42 or if you mean the KO Cup meeting, it was 48-23. Newport v Newcastle in the league finished 52-40. Sorry, can't give any more details, but hope that helps.

Yeah me too, and wasn't that rain bloody cold? Veeeery impressive the way they cleared the water off the track afterwards though.

Can anyone help out with the track records, holders and dates set for the following please? PB 1976 prior to the track being shortened. PB 1983 on the shorter track. BG 1985 prior to the track being shortened. BG 1986 on the shorter track. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks Guys, it's appreciated.

My records suggest that the Romford track record at the end of 1970 was held by Vaclav Verner and the time was 69.0 secs. Was this record still intact at the end of the following year when The Bombers rode their last meeting at Brooklands please?

After all the help you've given me, I really wish I could help. If you've not tried this already, it could be worth asking the question Here too, as hopefully someone will be able to help. BTW Steve, your collection would make an awesome publication when completed...... have you considered it?

Many, many thanks 2ndB

Just bringing this back to the top in the hope that someone has the information.

I'm fairly sure that I read somewhere that Bryan sadly passed away a few years ago. He was the pioneer of serious statistics in speedway really, and I enjoyed reading his page in the Speedway Star every week. Sadly missed, but not forgotten.

Good point - now corrected.

Does anyone have details (time, date set and holder) of the track record at the end of 1973, when the stadium closed please?

That is awesome Star Lady, thanks very much indeed.

Does anyone know the track record, holder, and date set for the Kings Lynn circuit at the end of 1975, prior to the track being shortened please?

Here's hoping mate, my fingers are tightly crossed.

Still desperately hoping for a meeting in Northern Germany or Denmark on 15th July Iris, any news yet?

Thanks for your answer Norbold.

Does anyone know when the opening day is, and if so, will there be a special event organised for the day?

In the same way they thought they had Nicolai Klindt for 2008.

Many thanks DGT.

I know it's probably too early, but who is likely to be riding in this meeting, and where is the track situated please? Oh yeah, and what does RMC stand for after the Stadskanaal listings?

Your best bet is to start a thread asking that question PC/KC - that will maximise folk that see it. Good luck in your search.

Fascinating stuff scarletrider , do you think the roar of speedway bikes will ever return to Sunderland?

Yes, have a look Here.
