speedyguy Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Ken Alick - 1949 Phil Day - 1947 Ken Kirby - 1949 Peter Lloyd - 1947 and 1948 Len Nicholson - 1951 Harwood Pike - 1946 Ray Ridley - No idea Fred Rogers - 1948 Vic Sage - 1951 Ken Thompson - 1949 Walter Thompson - 1946 I think you will find that Peter Lloyd was at Newcastle in 1946. He was then 17 years old and the youngest rider in the sport at that time (I think ) He was still active in the Provincial League in the early 1960s with Poole possibly being his last track.
