Hi White Knight, I found a clearer image of a Sunderland race bib from 1964 on eBay to copy. On eBay UK there is a book on Sunderland speedway that you might be interested in. Once, again many thanks for your help.

Many thanks for your help White Knight. Hopefully, Sunderland speedway will return one-day.

Hi White Knight many thanks for the information. I do not know whether the shade of red is correct but here are images of Sunderland race jackets, I have made. Some are from 5-6 years ago when I first started making them. Any advice of the colour shades will be extremely helpful.

Many thanks White Knight. The images I have were the one's published in the 1974 Speedway Star. I look forward to your future post, as Sunderland changing their body colours in their final league season has been lost to speedway history until now.

The White Knight in 1974 when Sunderland reverted to being the Stars did the team change their racing body colours?

Scott, was an awesome rider especially around Plough Lane. It was a shame that Wimbledon never took the plunge on his raw talents in 1973, as the would have made an extremely strong heat leaders for the Dons.

Some excellent stats here for the speedway researcher website, i know it is not New Cross, but it is against the big five riders: Tuesday 22 August 1961: Southampton v NEW CROSS (Peter Craven 11 from 5 rides - 1 win) [lost to Briggs twice, and Knutsson]. Can I please add

British Final 2024
RobbieB replied to Hackett's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
After the draw heat 14 of the 2024 British Finals looks very tasty, as we have Robert Lambert (red); Rory Schlein (blue); Tai Woffinden (white); and Dan Bewley (yellow). -
Hi R&R Here is my bet for the first GP of 2024 Woffinden 7 - 9 £600 more R&R many thanks for running Beat the Bookie again this year.

First race you ever saw-any of the 4 riders still alive??
RobbieB replied to BOBBATH's topic in Years Gone By
My first live race was at Wimbledon 18 March 1976 heat 1 result; Dave Jessup, Barry Crowson, Bernie Leigh and Edgar Stangeland. Strangely, first Wimbledon rider I saw win a race in a home meeting was Roger Johns who won heat 8 in the Wimbledon v Reading (CH) match 18 March 1976; Roger was also the first Wimbledon rider I saw win an away race when he won heat 2 at White City the following Wednesday, 24 March 1976. -
Adi, not riding for Wimbledon but against them at Plough Lane.
-
Another Austrian at Plough Lane in the 70s was Adi Funk

Chunky, funny how time can play tricks with your mind.

Didn't Roger Johns start and finish his racing at Eastbourne?
