Grachan Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 It's not great quality and fairly short, but I've downloaded it and you can see it HERE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I was going to say it all looked a bit tame on that tight track,until that rider went straight for the crowd.One of them seems to lose his head a few times Thanks Grachan Maybe you can find the footage of Galloway and McKay at Stamford Bridge 1927?

Richspeedway Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Well done Grachan for finding that, real good footage for its time. I might be young lad but I have been buying the old magazines so I can get to see and read about the good old days of speedway and must say found that clip real good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clemens Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Great piece of film. A human safety fence too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 It was quite a surprise to see just how slow they were going I have to say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Well they weren't allowed to put their foot down and they did have brakes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Well they weren't allowed to put their foot down and they did have brakes... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In that case, there's a definite case for an exclusion on the first bend. I bet the ref never had the use of a video replay or the guy off the inside would have been out of there! Rider in red - excluded - foot on ground.
