Many thanks for that John. I used to Police Coverdale and later Wharfedale, where the Alan Jeffries Trial was filmed, but later than 1955!
Cheers John. |

Hi
Great little film.
I wonder if that in-line three wheeler is still around.

My father used to be in the Glasgow Tigers Speedway team then he was into Stock Car racing driving sit-up and beg Fords of which there were always 2 or 3 lying in various states of dis-repair in our back garden. I remember he hadn't raced for a full season and still had enough points to be in the top ten at the end of the season

A really good film. I remember years ago my dad took me to the speedway in Motherwell. I always remember Noel Watson and Bluey Scott.

Fantastic. That really took me back to my first years of motorcycling.

Nice film and great commentary if slightly out of sync.
Thanks for posting,
Peter
