Me neither......You met me at Paris....remember it well. No I don't think Speedway will run again here.....Welland has a slight chance but no one is interested.....riders that is! There are three Tracks within reach though.....all three in New York state......closest one, Owego but a 12 hour round trip!!!!

Yes, "Prison" is not too bad really......and to think all those years ago I had my papers for Australia and decided on Canada.....Hmmmm.

Died 10/11/1999 aged 92 And a guess, he retired after the 1947 season? Courtesy of Wikipedia but I don't trust that because even in this article it gives his death as 1999 and 2001.....never know a person die twice!!!!!

Stan Williams?

Just clicking on one of the team years Gustix has listed above seems to work....Try that.

I had forgotten about that........

I have been around a long time......I guess I'm also getting fed up with all the shares and copy / paste stuff on FB from him as well......a constant stream of duplicated stuff out there now. Makes it very boring.

You're dragging up stuff you already know, I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish. November 24, 2016....YOU said! New Cross Memories gustix posted a topic in Years Gone By ...I believed the race winner wasMick Mitchell, who away from the track was a school caretaker in Lewisham. Recently, I found out that Mitchell was not in that race - the winner was Belle Vue's Wally Lloyd. And, just for the record, New Cross won the challenge match 46-37. For the next 17 year...

Due to health and safety directives issued by the government of the Czech Republic amid concerns over COVID-19 (coronavirus), the 2020 Anlas Czech Republic FIM Speedway Grand Prix, originally scheduled for 13 June, has been postponed until September. This decision was made after careful consideration and consultation with the FIM, BSI Speedway, ACCR (Autoklub České Republiky) and the Marketa Stadium promoter, with the well-being of riders and supporters remaining the top priority. The re-scheduled date in September will be announced in due course, with further event details to be made available as soon as they have been finalised. All tickets already purchased for the event will remain valid for the revised date, and ticket sales will re-commence on 1 August. FIM & BSI Communications

Damn, you're good chunky.......you didn't even make a comment........LOL

Due to a ban imposed by the German government on all outdoor events until August 31, 2020 as part of measures to stall the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), this year’s 2020 Aztorin German FIM Speedway Grand Prix, scheduled for May 30, has been postponed. This decision was made after careful consideration and consultation with the FIM, BSI Speedway, the German Motorsport Federation (DMSB) and the Bergring Arena promoter out of concern for the safety of all involved. All parties are studying alternative dates for the event and further details will be provided in due course. FIM Communications

Interesting, most of the the programmes out there for 1938......are in my collection.....actually they are mine......I think copied from the International Speedway Website.

The only sidecar death I remember was at Wimbledon during the National Press Trophy meeting in 1967.....Damn, I can ever remember his name Chris Jackson!

Me too.....1965

Testing me were you norbold? LOL I really don't remember too much about it though....but I was struck by the name of Hofmiester even at that young age. The first World Final I really do remember was 1962....with my childhood hero winning.

Yes I did, it was the first World Final I ever went to.....I was a young'un.

I have seen all but Payne, Close and Crutcher.....at least I don't remember them......

Pretty rude! They could have said Jerzy Szczakiel!!!!!!

There is nothing in the rules (this years rules) that states there must be a minimum....so ONE should be good!!!

FIM Team Speedway U21 World Championship that was scheduled to take place on 30 May, in Pardubice, Czech Republic is now postponed until 15 August.The final will take place as originally planned on 22 August in Outrup, Denmark.

Now now skidder, you know ALL rules are up to interpretation....depends on how much you can bend without getting caught......LOL

68 pages last year.....178 pages this year....Hmmmmm Looks like they have added all the individual, pairs, fours, U21 etc etc rules .....into the main document.

No Speedway now until at least June 15.... THE board members of the British Speedway Promoters Ltd are continuing to monitor the situation regarding the Coronavirus crisis on a regular basis.With the latest information from the government stating high risk groups of people should stay at home for 12 weeks, it is unlikely that that there will be any British Speedway events taking place before June 15, at least.The Board have to consider the public, their members, riders and officials, some of which will be included in the high risk group.It is the wish of the Board that every effort is made to start the new season at the first available opportunity and we have members of the association continuing to provide alternative fixture dates as the situation evolves.The British Speedway Promoters Ltd sends their best wishes to everyone at this incredibly difficult time.

My top Finals of all that I went to, not that they were the best but it would be '62 because my hero won it.......and '66 in Sweden, being a West Ham fan....Sverre Harrfeldt coming in runner-up......

I have removed the link.....
