Custom House Kid Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Can anyone point me in the direction of sources, for team or rider statistics from the start in 1928 to the 1960s. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndBender Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 You won't be able to go back much further than the early '50s because no-one really kept comprehensive records. Your best bet is early Speedway Stars, (from '53 onwards) and the British Speedway Handbooks which were around in the mid sixties. An excellent book is The Complete History of the British League by Peter Oakes but that only starts when the BL did in '65. Other good team statistics books are the softback Speedway Surveys by Maurice Jones. Welcome to the world of scouring Collectors Fairs!!! What I think you've got in mind is a MAJOR undertaking!!

KevH Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 (edited) "British Speedway Leagues 1946-1964" by Peter Morrish and published in 1984 will give you many of the details you require CHK.
