There was a speedway meeting at the Youth Sports Arena in Tijuana in 1969. I know this did happen as my friend has a programme from the event.

Go here to see the programme from that 1931 World Final and my comments. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156440849867397&set=gm.526579451263742&type=3&theater&ifg=1

Wish I could add all the stuff sold but it won't let me do it here! Help?

Some of the Frank Arthur collection that I was at in Australia several years ago.....it was a shame IMO that this could have not been sold as one lot!

Yes they have made some rules complicated but at least the "silliest" one's are in the National Trophy.

Ray Duggan was killed along with Norman Clay in the same race in 1950 in Sydney. Eddie Rigg was in the same crash that took Ken's life but Eddie died much later....not sure what year.

Its actually easier than that teaboy......just click on the DONATE button on the home screen.

Thank You

Could someone who went to Scunthorpe please tell me what the programme was for this meeting.....Was it the Leicester rain off programme with an insert or was it a whole new programme. Thanks

Never ever 354 yards!

58 -32 Final Score

Saw him ride many times, mostly at New Cross....quite the character....and as someone said earlier, would make a good film about his life.

You are correct Bob...Ernie never got married and lived with his Mother until she died. But he sure loved his Speedway.

Actually I think it was the Speedway Touring Club......I went on several trips with them...1965 to Kempten and 1966 Ullevi were two. I knew Ernie personally and actually his Mother........I have heard that all the paper stuff he had, programmes etc were full of mildew and worthless and the way Ernie used to store the stuff I can quite believe it. Still a big loss though!

My Mother and Father were there too......and for the Memorial Service......Must have been a very sad time for all Speedway. My parents continued to go four or five times a week and of course take me to New Cross when they reopened in 1959.

SCB STATEMENT: EASTBOURNE v GLASGOW Monday August 05, 2019 The Speedway Control Bureau are looking into the scenes that happened at Eastbourne on Saturday 3rd August in the Championship Shield Semi-Final which took place between Eastbourne and Glasgow. The Bureau have requested witness statements from several officials, and until fully investigated no further comment will be made. Neil Vatcher SCB Co-ordinator

In my older programmes, it was always....almost without exception, printed in the programme about abandonment prior to heat 6....

I have used Microsoft Excel for years......there is so much you can do with it. Adding notes ie score chart, results etc etc etc.

Copied from Col's post....I knew I couldn't spell it!

Smoli, Lokoksiev and Bjerre it is then....

Just for the record, count back, race wins or anything else in the qualifiers do not count......it is only run-offs, unlike the actual GP's. Two sets of rules in the GP's.....nice one FIM!

Rule dropped this year! Staggered starts....only ever seen that for Flat Track.....Speedway? I'm open to it!

OK, I'll give it shot and try to explain.... Heat 7 France beat USA 5-1 Heat 13 France get a 3-3 with Latvia but France's 2nd and 3rd gives them a NON-COUNTING Bonus point for simply breaking ties at the end if the meeting. Heat 17 USA beat Latvia 4-2 France therefore beats both and gets the Ranking for the meeting as 4th, USA with the win over Latvia gets 5th Ranking and Latvia 6th. Ranking is important in Heats 22 and 23, Ranking breaks 3-3's. Because of the 4th Ranking France only needed a 3-3 to go through whether they got a 1st and a 4th or a 2nd and 3rd USA had to get a 4-2 or a 5-1 to beat France. Heat 23 France would have needed a 4-2 or a 5-1 as a 3-3 would have given the 3rd Ranked Danes the win. I think I have that right....if I'm wrong I'm sure someone else will correct me.

Anthony Barlow and James Mann, I only really remember from the Ice racing on Hockey rinks here in Canada......went to a few of those but it was much the same thing every time....a little shall we say "staged". And yes, I too would like to get to the Mid-America Speedway one day. I'm not sure if the demise of the British speedway scene has had a negative impact on the number of Americans riding abroad.....I think Britain alone is causing their own demise. I know, here we go again, In my day in the UK I used to go to Speedway six times a week....yes I had four or five London tracks to choose from but the costs were so cheap in those days, now it seems to be priced out of most families reach....and yes, mine too!
