Despite his accident, I can never remember him without a smile on his face. RIP Graham.

The closest they came was finishing 4th in 1937 as Belle Vue Merseysiders. https://www.speedwayresearcher.org.uk/1937pltable.pdf

Aren't they in fashion again?

It hasn't been taken seriously by the MSM for years, regardless of scoring.

Bewley still can't find it.

Stevie Wonder could pick better camera angles than this lot!

At which of the 3 venues?

I wasn't there but I've long held the view that bad speedway is worse than no speedway and this doesn't change my mind. BTW, Newtongrange didn't run in 1972 only 1970 & 1973.

No, it never has been.

A broken thigh is a broken leg unless you mean the other leg too.

Sad to hear that Chum Taylor, #2, has died aged 98.

Lars Gunnestad, primarily for Poole.

They also did it with the very first British GP. moving it from Arena Essex to Hackney.

The 1967 WTC was also held in Malmo. If it was the same track then maybe that programme could help?

I've always wondered why Malmo was chosen in the first place as I don't believe it was exactly a speedway hotbed.

Interesting. Would love to hear more.

Even Zmarzlik from the looks of it.

That and the live coverage tucked away on an app.

What a win! Great ride from Bewley and Lambert was truly world class tonight.

There is complete radio silence/censorship that N.Korea/China would be proud of, on all the grasstrack sites about this. It's as though the meeting never happened.

Equally impressive was the fact that their 4 bikes proved to be durable enough to last the night under extreme use.

That private education was wasted on him.

I couldn't think of any other Rosses though and you said "Middle names ARE acceptable".

I have recently acquired some old Rye House programmes from their SAL days in 1955/6. What is curious is that all races were over 3 laps. Given that, other than very early on, races have always been over 4 laps, I wonder why this was so?
