BL2 Pairs Championship, Reading 4.9.88


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know the complete results of the  British League Division 2 Pairs Championship held at Reading on 4th September 1988.  The Speedway Star does give a very limited report - naming Wolverhampton (Ade Hoole and Lee Edwards) as winners, Belle Vue (Carl Stonehewer and Paul Smith) second, Bradford (Bryan Larner and Phil Hill) 3rd, Coventry and Ipswich tying for4th.  I would like to know more details, plus which were the other two teams in it.  Thanks

Can probably dig this out, but am on holiday at present. If you are still looking for the result in a week's time let me know

Hi Arnie.  Many thanks for this, appreciated.  If you get a few minutes spare, could you let me know the results of the three races involving the Sheffield pair.  Thanks,  Alan
