Romford Recorder Trophy 1971

Hi there.

 

As part of my research into the 1971 season I am trying to confirm the correct points scored for George Barclay, Roger Johns, Reg Trott & Gordon Kennett in this meeting.

 

The heat results differ to the points scorers published in the Speedway Star.

 

Does anybody have a completed programme from this meeting to confirm the correct heat details/points scorers ?

 

Thanks.

 

Steve

Steve,

 

Finally managed to dig out my completed prog from this meeting, dated 23/9/71. I was 11 at the time and maths has never been my strong point, and to prove it there is plenty of crossing out and amended individual scores/heat results on my racecard!

 

GEORGE BARCLAY - I have written 3-2-3-0-2 . . . but, for some reason, have 11 (instead of 10) in the final total column! There was confusion over whether he finished 3rd or last (behind or in front of Charlie Benham) in heat 13. I have amended both riders' score alongside the heat result. On reflection, though, GB must have got the point in his fourth ride, making his final total 11, because he definitely contested a three-man run-off for the minor rostrum placings, along with Stan Stevens and Alan Knapkin, who both finished on 11pts.

 

Here are the other riders' scores you requested:

 

ROGER JOHNS - 0-2-1-3-0 total 6

 

REG TROTT - 1-1-3-1-1 total 7

 

GORDON KENNETT - Ex-1-Ex-3-2 total 6

 

Not sure if this helps at all!
