Hi there I should have these details, however I am on holiday until Sunday. I will post the details on the BSF next week. Regards Steve

First name is Joe - rode for Cradley Heath & Reading in the sixties.

Details now obtained. Thanks for looking

I was talking to Tom Owen at Stoke last season about his rivality with John Jackson. Tom recalled a Silver Helmet clash against John Jackson at Ellesmere Port (in 1979) when the track was soaking wet, John didn't want to ride due to track conditions. The promoters offered John & Tom extra money to ride due to a larger than normal crowd for a Sunday meeting. Tom was quite happy ride without the inducement, but John was very reluctant, however he eventually accepted the offer and promptly lost the second leg 2-0. Tom was clearly the winner here by retaining the Silver Helmet and earning some extra cash !

First name is Ivan - It think he may be from New Zealand. Rode for Newcastle in the early 60's

First name Jackie Based in the North East - member of the Swales racing family.

First name is Gordon - rode for Stoke in 1960.

First name is Bob Mainly rode for Southern teams in the early 60's Steve

Hi there As part of my research does anybody have the winning heat times of John Louis's 2-0 match race win over Dag Lovaas at Hackney ? Winning times were not published in the Speedway Star. Thanks for reading. Steve

Thanks Norbold - This confirms the heat results are correct. Thanks Steve

Hi there As part of my research into the 1974 Season, I trying to obtain the correct heat results for this meeting. According to the Speedway Star Clive Hitch scored 8 points & Bob Young scored for 7 points for the Rockets, however the heat results advise that Hitch scored 9 and Young 6 points respectively. Its looks likely that Young finished ahead of Hitch in heat 3 or 5, does anybody have the completed programme from this meeting to confirm the correct placings please ? Thanks Steve

Hi there As part of my research I am trying to clarify the correct heat results for following Internationals: 1. Hackney 12 July - Peter Collins & Dave Jessup. The Speedway Star advises Collins scored 16 & Jessup scored 14 points, the heat results suggest that both riders scored 15 points each. Can anybody confirm the correct placings ? 2. Birmingham 15 July - Arthur Browning & Bruce Forrester. The Speedway Star advised Browning scored 15 & Forrester 9, the heat results suggest Browning scored 17 & Forrester 7. Can anybody confirm the correct placings ? Hopefully somebody has have a completed programme from either of these meetings to confirm the correct placings ? Thanks for reading. Steve
