cinderman Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Just browsing through some of my old speedway items when i first went to speedway and saw my idol the great Vic Duggan. Noticed that in 1947 Vic had 96 races and finished, IST 85 TIMES. 2ND 9 TIMES. 3RD 2 TIMES 4TH 0 TIMES. Just wondered if this was ever bettered. He got me hooked on speedway and has been a great part of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinuteWarning Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Cinderman, Vic Duggan scored 275 points + 2 bonus in those 96 rides for a CMA of 11.54. An amazing record, BUT one that was beaten by none other than Ivan Mauger. In 1969 for Belle Vue, he scored 456 points plus 5 bonus in 158 rides for a CMA of 11.67, so he dropped just 13 points all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 That's correct, but do we know how many of Vic Duggan's second and third places were behind his own teammate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinuteWarning Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Yes, norbold, 2 . As I said in my previous post, Vic got 2 bonus points. Those details are courtesy of Peter Jackson's excellent series of books, "Speedway Archives", covering the post war National League Division One.
