britmet Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Recent extensive research of on-line international press archives by Cape-based expat David Austin has clarified and significantly extended the detail of the 1951 5-country tour of Europe by the South African speedway Test team led by Buddy Fuller. Originally posted 15 years ago on the now-frozen 'Internationalspeedway' website, the updated comprehensive data on the 21 meetings undertaken by the S.African team is now to be found on the Speedway-SA website, HERE .www.speedwaychampions.comwww.speedway-sa.com Edited February 18, 2019 by britmet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Your OP is magnificent brimet in regard to the 1951 tour of Europe by a South African team. Here's a Link to a far more modest commentary regarding the tour: http://www.national-speedway-museum.co.uk/secretsouthafricantour.html Edited February 18, 2019 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Sadly, the sort of response I might expect from you. Indeed I did query the same issue on a thread elsewhere - not all users there may also enter YEARS GONE BY. I regard the Brian Collins website as being one of the most informative dedicated to the sport's international history which was why I decided to Post my query on several BSF threads. But let's smile about my apparent misdemeanour - it enabled you to YET AGAIN criticise me. Edited February 19, 2019 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Surely it is not of such importance to you that you can't wait, say 30 minutes or even an hour or two for someone to answer? As it was,you got the answer pretty quick and still have to ask elsewhere....probably a pm to britmet who mentioned the site would have sufficed.But no......

Brian's excellent 'Internationalspeedway' website is still open, but since the advent of Windows 10, after almost 15 years, his site-builder programme no longer functions in Win.10, So no updates or additions, - for any area or Tests - , nor even an explanation, are possible. There has been no 'business as usual' for about 2 years. The site is, in effect, frozen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
