Just found this on the BSF from 9 years ago!

Final was Schwartz, Knudsen, Dryml, Maier. 71.4

Nothing for the years though...

The post I referenced stated that the results were taken from Speedway Mail, so I would tend to go with yours.

There were probably quite a few of us forumites there at that final, but it's crazy to think of it being 37 years ago...

I was there too and yes, it does not feel like 37 years have passed.

I was there to i remember the USA giving Scott Autrey a ride and surprising Preben Eriksen was picked above Knudsen i had forgotten that.

I always felt it a shame that Ronnie Moore wasn't given a ride during the 1972 World Team Cup Final which was, in essence, his last ever World Final appearance.

Spot on Steve it was such a shame to see Scott at that level he was not the 1978/79 version.

If I recall it was Bobby Schwartz who gave up his ride although he was on for a maximum (?). The ultimate team man.

 That side really had a great spirit Schwartz( very underated) was a great  team man an awesome team partner he was great on the white line.

And, of course, that victory by 'The Yanks' was dedicated to the late Denny Pyeatt.

You were a regular at White City Steve did you see Bast/ Penhall in 77.??

I'm afraid Sid that was one meeting I missed although I have it on DVD and is best remembered for the 'coming together' of Ivan Mauger and John Davis and which Davis was subsequently excluded and missed out on that year's World Final.

I was excited to see Penhall/ Bast ride they both found it difficult but i always believed both would of practiced at Swindon beforehand  after a meeting as both tracks were reasonably similar.Iris and Chunky i believe see Bast at Wimbledon do some laps but i dont know if he did any other track?

I recall that there was talk of Mike Bast signing for Wimbledon prior to the 1975 season but nothing materialised.

He was on mega money in the States and his demands over here were unrealistic for any club.Penhall i can remember he was earmarked for Halifax first but that stalled for some reason McCormick was a shrewd bloke at Cradley.As for Bast we will never know what he could of achieved over here but Mike seemed happy with his career and you have to say he was a class rider Penhall also held him in high esteem.
