BritPete Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I remember Finn Thomsen scoring about 21 for Wolves at Swindon, and Wolves winning. I can't remember the exact score and exact result, but it could be another case of that. That could have been the night they wanted to test his engine, but when they told him they would not put it together again,he refused and left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewrunagall Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Here's one that we all know, Mark Loram is the only rider to win the world championship without winning a single Grands Prix that year. I don't know if it's ever been done at another time, but Reading did win three times in three days in three different nations (at Edinburugh, at home and at Newport, I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz_mft Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Can't remember the final score but Ben Howe scored 22 points for Mildenhall away at Wimbledon in 2002/2003.Never seen a performance like it Edited April 17, 2014 by adz_mft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Cross Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Colin McKee for Poole in 1966 took every one of his programmed rides, and didn't take a tactical substitute in any either!

It was a Midland Cup match at Swindon, 21 August 1976 Swindon 42 (Martin Ashby 10 Bob Kilby 10) Wolverhampton 36 (Finn Thomsen 20) Same night as Henny Kroeze scored his 21 point max against Birmingham. When Swindon returned to Monmore Green for a Gulf British League match on 3 September, the Robins operated R/R for Bob Kilby and Martin Ashby scored 21 points from eight rides. Woverhampton 41 (Finn Thomsen 13) Swindon 37 (Martin Ashby 21) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moxey63 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Bjarne Pedersen scored an 22+1 paid maximum for Poole at Arena Essex (Lakeside) in July 2005. Yes, that's correct... and quite a feat. But didn't he adopt some of his haul from the crazy double points ploy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowle Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Back to topic, Billy, Johnny, Graham Hole rode for Bristol 1949 plus Eric Salmon brother in law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yes, that's correct... and quite a feat. But didn't he adopt some of his haul from the crazy double points ploy? Heat 12 he did a 15 metre TS. He passed both hammers but the up to then pointless Matej Ferjan, his team mate, won the race. So 6 races from the tapes (R/R and heat 15) and a TS from 15 metres for 4+1. As it stands, it's impossible to beat that score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mervjankefanclub Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Another 'only in speedway' classic..........in the 1978 Midland Cup the first leg of the final was staged before one of the semi finals had been completed!!! Wolves and Coventry had drawn their semi final and the replay was arranged for the 4th and 6th of October..........but Leicester and the Bees raced the 1st leg of the final at Blackbird Road on October 3rd .....the semi still went ahead on the 4th and 6th, just as well Coventry won....speedway!?...gotta love it!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 In 1968, Nigel Boocock scored 16pts out of the Coventry team total of 24, as the Bees lost 54-24 at Wimbledon. Impressive to say the least. Dave Trownson scored half of Edinburgh's match total (34) in a home match in 1982 (can't remember who against). Gordon Kennett scored a 21pt maximum in a cup tie at Swindon (1980, I think) with Kai Niemi scoring 19. Eastbourne still lost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I think the Alan Mogridge story relates to a Rye House v Canterbury fixture where both sides used rider replacement for him or one side did and he rode for the other. Can't remember the year though to check it out. Henny Kroeze was the first to do the seven ride maximum, in 1976 and not long before the John Boulger instance mentioned earlier. 1986 I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mervjankefanclub Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 1986 I think Think your right, RJ72.....he actually rode with FOUR different NL clubs that season. I remember the inside cover of the Star having a photo of him sporting the four different race jackets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barncooseboy Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I believe Henny Kroeze is still touring with a Wall of Death show in Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
