steve19620 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I am looking for the following heat results which were never published in the Speedway Star, due to the age of some of these matches they are proving very difficult to obtain, here's hoping.

steve19620 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks very much for the info. Don't suppose anybody has got the Weymouth V All Star heat details raced on 7/9/62. I have the heat details but they don't look correct. Can anybody help ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessex Wanderer Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Let me know the heat details you have and I will check them against mine. Match result was Weymouth 61 All Stars 20 and Pete Sampson won the second half. Again - all unofficial though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatwick Rocket Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi Steve, I've emailed scans of the following programme racecards off this list to Jim Henry: Middlesbrough v Belle Vue B, 22 June 1961 Eastbourne: Easter Trophy, 21 April 1962 Weymouth: Best Pairs, 27 July 1962 Middlesbrough v Sheffield, 4 October 1962 Middlesbrough: Battle of Britain Trophy, 13 September 1963 Middlesbrough v Australasia, 20 August 1964 Middlesbrough: Battle of Britain Trophy, 3 September 1964 (my programme is only completed up to heat 10) I have a few of the other programmes too but I either haven't dug them out yet or their racecards are blank. Best wishes Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star ghost Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 In 1962 the Billman at weymouth would have been Bill Billman from Norwich. He also races Midget Cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessex Wanderer Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 In reply to post 7: Ht 1. Hammond (fell) replaced Cann 5. For Billman read Edwards 7. Hammond replaced Cann 10. For Cousins read Eadon, for Edwards read Innocent 13. Wickett replaced Cann All Stars scorers: Hammond 0, Edwards 5, Wickett 5, Eadon 6, Innocent 1, Billman 1, Harris 0, Cousins 2. The Hammond brought into the All Stars team was John Hammond Not sure about Lew Philp's involvement - he was programmed as All Stars number 3 but was replaced by Ray Wickett. Lew Philp was also replaced in his second half race so I think your information has possibly got reversed. As Starghost says, the Billman was Bill Billman. The Harris in this match was Geoff Harris. As before this is from a programme completed at the meeting, not official results. Sorry, no times recorded. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Featherby, Ron Bagley, Tommy Roper and Tony Robinson refused to ride leading to the hastily arranged meeting above. As can be seen the track was tricky leading to walking pace times!
