Expand (1) Is it wrong to seek clarification as to what type of meeting was staged? (2) Re the track size (New Cross) I did not ask what the track size was. I referred to a Post elsewhere that originated on Facebook and gave a much different size to that which is accepted. My query was how the Poster of the wrong size arrived at his figure which was for more than 340 yards.

That is what I am talking about. Are you ? I think if he is honest he would even admit he has been strange over the years. In fact I think he even admitted such just a couple of weeks back Edited October 31, 2019 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadster Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 To be fair to Gustix (and someone has to be), I was at the last Wimbledon meeting and can hardly remember anything about it. The thing that has stuck in my mind was that one of his prizes for winning was a sewing machine, which seemed an unusual prize to say the least. Perhaps we could have a thread abour unusual speedway prizes. I'll leave Gustix to start it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I went to both of the 'last ever' meetings at Wimbledon. The abandoned 4TT in June 1991 and the Laurels in October 2005. I did take some photos on the second occasion, but unfortunately they've got lost in the mists of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I was at both meetings - the second of which has been well documented on this thread. Neither visit was actually by choice. However I enjoyed the 2002 reopening meeting - again there not by choice - to an extent because I had a lengthy chat with "Speedway Star" publisher Phil Rising and that great photographer Mike Patrick.
