Wimbledon V Halifax (koc) 17/5/1973

[steve19620]

Hi there.

 

As part of my research into the 1973 season, I would be grateful if anybody could confirm the correct heat placings for Eric Boocock & Mike Hiftle in this meeting.

 

According to the match report published in the Speedway Star, Eric Boocock scores 13 whilst Mike Hiftle scores 8 Points. However the heat details advises Boocock scores 15 & Hiftle scores 6 !

 

Does any has the completed racecard to clarify the correct placings for Eric Boocock and Mike Hiftle please ?

 

Thanks for reading.

Thanks Robbie B for your reply.

 

It looks like your programme may be completed from the Speedway Star heat results.

 

So alas it does not confirm the correct heat details

 

Can anybody else help please ?

Sorry Steve19620 I didn't realise my programme was completed from information from the Speedway Star.

 

I didn't start going speedway until 1976, I brought it on eBay.

 

There is another copy of this programme with complete race details on eBay at the moment eBay Link

 

It might be worth contacting the seller to see whether it's has the programme details that you require.
