norbold Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 (edited) The meeting was abandoned after heat 8 with the score Newport 27 Hackney 20. "Referee Mr W.G.Hall called a halt to proceedings at the end of the eighth heat and by that time the track was fast disappearing under water." (Speedway Star & News 18/6/65) A bit of additional information especially for Coventry fans..."Hackney skipper, Colin Pratt, would not race after his first ride...Colin thought the track was too bad for proper racing..."
