speedyguy Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) I can find Charlie with Norwich, Plymouth & Leicester post-war but would be interested in any times he rode for Rayleigh <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are right! I have trawled through the various Rayleigh teams for 1948, 1949 and 1950 - when Charlie Challis was most active as a rider. No sign at all of him in any Rayleigh teams. I bow this old head in shame...! http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/oldtimespeedway Edited January 14, 2008 by speedyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
