Ivor Creek - West Ham

Tommy Croombs

Buster Frogley

Roger Frogley

Jimmy Hayes

Jim Kempster - Wimbledon

Gus Khan - Stamford Bridge

Jack Parker

Eric Spencer - White City (London)

Colin Watson - White City (London)

I assume that Jack Parker was at Coventry in 1929

Many thanks for all the information.

 

Does anyone know where I can find a list of the pre-war World Championship, quailfiers.

 

The Bamford book 'Speedway The Pre-War Years' has team lists for 1929 as well as pre-war Star Championship & World Final results, if that helps ?

 

Have you tried emailing the Speedway Researcher as I'm sure they had pre-war details (although I think they may have been in the 'Year' section which has not yet been updated) ?

 

Cheers.

Many thanks for that. I just brought a copy of the book :drink:

None of the "Star" riders rode for any teams in 1929 (at least not until almost the very end of the season). I thought Robbie was asking who the riders he mentioned represented in the 1929 Star Riders' Championship.

 

 

This may help in regard to London-based 'STAR RIDERS CHAMPIONSHIP' in 1929. :unsure:

You right Norbold I was asking which team that they represented in the 1929 Star Riders Championship.

Does anyone know the actual dates of the two finals ?

 

I believe the Home Riders Final was held @ Wimbledon on 21/10/1929 , but not 100% certain.

 

The Overseas Final was held @ Harringay between Frank Arthur & Vic Huxley, probably prior to 3rd October, but I cannot find the actual meeting dates.

Home Riders Final - 1st Leg Crystal Palace 12th Oct & Lea Bridge 19th Oct

2nd Leg Wimbledon 14th Oct postponed until 21st Oct

 

Overseas Rider Final - 1st Leg Wimbledon 16th Sept

Complete details of every race in every round of the 1929 Star Riders' are in a superb article by Stuart Straite-Aris in the current edition of the excellent Speedway Researcher magazine (Vol.14 No.2 Sept 2011).
