Former Speedway Riders 1930's To Date

Recommended Posts

The VSRA are looking for all former Speedway riders to submit a profile form for the proposed Speedway Museum archives and their new website vsra-web.co.uk

 

Former riders need not be members of the VSRA as long as they were contracted to a speedway team during their riding career they can submit the profile form online or by hand/post.

 

If you are a former rider please submit a form or if you have contacts with former riders please encourage them to do so. I have an invitation letter and profile form that I can email to you and you can print off or I can send it to you by post, please contact me through the forum.

 

Most of the riders who are members of the VSRA will probably be contacted through the association so it is those riders who are not VSRA members that need to be invited to submit profiles.

 

The VSRA website is fairly new, but already has a few profiles online. It is possible for each rider to have a photograph album of up to 20 photos within their profile.

 

Any help with this would be appreciated.

New additions to the rider profiles are Steve Lomas formerly Hackney, Wolves, Edinburgh and Boston and Pete 'Speedy' Saunders of Oxford, Crewe and Peterborough. If anyone has a good photo of Pete could they send it to me?

 

Come on all you retired riders get your profile on the website and let us know what you are doing these days! Just fill in the profile form online or I can send one in the post to you.

This is the correct link to the VSRA website

 

http://www.vsra-web.co.uk/

 

More new profiles online: Bert Harkins Wembley, Edinburgh etc etc and Ken Mellor Aldershot & Southampton.

 

Please ask all former riders to get their profiles online, level of racing is not important as long as they were contracted to a Speedway club.

Andy Meldrum's profile is now online, a former Berwick favourite who also had a short spell at Sunderland.

This is not just for British riders, all nationalities may be included if they rode for a British team.
