steve19620 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Hi there. As part of my research into the 1975 season does anybody have the heat times for this meeting Unfortunately the Speedway Star did not publish the times, does anybody have a completed programme with this info ? Thanks for reading. Edited September 4, 2012 by steve19620 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatwick Rocket Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 And heat times that don't get slower as the meeting progresses. Now why might that have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 And heat times that don't get slower as the meeting progresses. Now why might that have been? Times around Mildenhall these days are around 5 to 8 seconds quicker than those listed. Have bikes become that much faster since then? What was the standard of the meeting, junior, NL, PL?

Chewbacca Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 The New National League was PL standard + the Owen brothers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25yearfan Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) ['Shadders' ] Times around Mildenhall these days are around 5 to 8 seconds quicker than those listed. Have bikes become that much faster since then? What was the standard of the meeting, junior, NL, PL? The current Mildenahall circuit was built in 1991 by Dick Partridge with a greyhound track that replaced the old speedway circuit! I suspect that nearly all riders in the 1975 National League would have been on 2 valvers which were slower than current bikes! I'd say the standard of the 1975 National League would have been 6pt current National League to 7pt Premier League!

Gatwick Rocket Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Appearing in the meeting in question were Bob Coles (Connor Coles' grandfather), Neil Middleditch (Poole team manager) and Colin Richardson (father to the late Lee Richardson) amongst others.
