Edinburgh 1966

[Guest compost]

Hi

Long shot but can anyone confirm from a Programme (Not from the Speedway Researcher or Speedway Star) the Edinburgh Track record going into the meeting on the 16th April 1966 ?

The Edinburgh file on the researcher website has Jansson, on the 9th April,  posting a record time in the second half of 64.6 but the all season file shows a track equalling time of 65 secs during the meeting on the 16th April.  I suspect the all season file is incorrect here and just wasn't able to pick up the previous meetings second half time but need clarification.

Many thanks

Bengt Jansson did set a record of 64.6 in the second half on 9th April 1966 and the programme for the meeting on 16th April confirmed this.

Thanks BL65 (and many thanks for your PM to my Southampton query too).
