Not quite sure what beacme of it, but it definitely gone now and the grounds have been built on with probably houses or a super market, I can't remember exactly what it was. But for certain this speedway track in St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) does not exist anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Vue won a second meeting in warsaw 66-42.One Polish qualifier for a later world final said he hoped Peter Craven would win as he was the idol of all polish children.... Belle Vue team wasPC,Ron Johnston,Ken Sharples,Dick Fisher,Bob Duckworth,Peter William,Fred Rogers and Arthur Wright from Bradford as a 'guest' In Wroclaw Arthur Wright scored 12 and PC 11 In Warsaw PC 16,Johnston 14,Sharples 11 and Williams 9.Sharples and Johnston stood down from their last rides to allow Fisher and Brand(??)their first and only rides of the tour taken from the book The Wizard of Balance 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 A bit of footage of a 1957 meeting in Vienna which was billed England v Continent,but the commentator say's it is the Belle Vue team and looking on Brian Collins site it looks like it with Booey.The piece starts at 9:00.The Continent team includes Josef Seidl,Olle Nygren and Karl Killmeyer and a decent crowd too.. https://www.filmothek.bundesarchiv.de/video/584227?q=dirt+track+speedway&xm=AND&xf[0]=_fulltext&xo[0]=CONTAINS&xv[0] http://www.internationalspeedway.co.uk/autengvcont.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
