norbold Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Just to let you all know that the long-awaited history of New Cross Speedway has now been published. I received my copy today and they should be generally available in the shops (or from the author!) as from next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnieg Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Just to let you all know that the long-awaited history of New Cross Speedway has now been published. I received my copy today and they should be generally available in the shops (or from the author!) as from next week. At last. I now know how it feels to be 'pregnant with book'. The gestation period for this one has certainly been a long one. I'm sure the wait will be worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbold Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Don't be too sure. That's what us old 'uns used to think about Savalas Clouting. Where is he now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBBATH Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Well this just proves my point-Savalas Clouting is also living forever on this site-didn't he famously beat Ray Wilson at Long Eaton in 1965-I think Rim Malskaitis finished third.Thanks Norbold for bringing his name forward again-perhaps you can update us on his current whereabouts.

I have just come across a bookseller called "anybook-uk" selling it second hand (!) for £38.18 (even more !!!s) Hi Norbold: I found the site's book offer (as below). The actual list price on this site is crossed through. How come they have already got so many copies of the book I wonder. I anticipate a copy in a few days time I want to relive the happy years as a speedway fan - from 1946 to 1963. I am sure this book will prove a really big success. List Price: £12.99 Price: £6.83 You Save: £6.16 (47%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £38.18 Third Party New Price: £6.83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 List Price: £12.99 Used Price: £38.18 Hmm, so 'used' the book triples in value..?? What in gawd's name are they using it for..??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyguy Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hmm, so 'used' the book triples in value..?? What in gawd's name are they using it for..??!! My guess is that the "3" is a mistake and should not be there, just the "8". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hmm, so 'used' the book triples in value..?? There you are, Parsloes. Buy a copy and make an instant profit. Can't say fairer than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
