chunky Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) Eastbourne 3 & 4 71-1 Looks like Laurie Sims outside,Mac Woolford inside. Eastbourne 71-1 Johns leads Mac Woolford <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agree with Laurie Sims, but I'm still sure it's Ballard on the inside. It's also Ballard on the outside with Roger. Check the other pics of Woolford and Ballard and compare; of course, the other pics of Ballard could be wrong... Any help, anyone? Steve PS Oxford 71-2 is definitely Genno Workington Unknown 1 is Chris Blythe Edited January 10, 2008 by chunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Cradley unknown 72-1 Roy Trigg,72-2 is also Trigg <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agree with those.

TonyMac Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) UPDATE Have just added more than 120 pics to the site, all from the 1974 season, with most tracks included. There are 'unknowns' in the Coventry and Swindon sections (more from 1987 have been added to the Robins' section). For those of you who prefer the late 60s, keep your eyes peeled, as I'll be adding 500 or so more images in the next couple of days from the 1968 season, including the first pics of riders and teams who competed in the launch of the second division that year...

TonyMac Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Have just added hundreds more 'new' pics to the site - this time from the 1968 season. Most teams show new images in classic black & white, including those pioneers of BL Division Two: Belle Vue Colts, Berwick, Crayford, Canterbury, Rayleigh, Nelson, Plymouth, Weymouth, Reading and Middlesbrough. There are a number of unidentified 'unknowns' among them, so - as ever - a big thanks to anyone who can put names to the faces and black leathers!

TonyMac Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 68-5 John Poyser Many thanks to Miro and all others who have helped to identify more 'mystery men' on our site. I'm not sure about Poyser, though. The Oxford pic was definitely taken in 1968, the same year as this shot http://www.retro-speedway.com/extras/autog...pg&start=80 of JP in Reading colours - and they don't look like the same man! Poyser did make one official appearance for the Cheetahs in '68, but I'm wondering if the man in Oxford colours is Colin Clark, who rode that year for second division Crayford? Can anyone pse confirm whether Colin also rode second halves at Oxford, or perhaps appeared as their No.8, which might explain him appearing in the Cheetahs' body colour? I'm embarrassed at there being so many more Hackney 'unknowns' still to be identified, never mind the rest! Thanks again, though, to all for looking... http://www.retro-speedway.com/extras/autog...autogallery.php? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
