  1. OK then I'll try again The programs had the wrong date printed on them Ringwood Program was printed with 26th APRIL instead of 26th MAY Long Eaton program was printed with 1st January instead of 2nd January
  2. "On the 30th March 1956, there were 5 meetings on the same day according to the Anderson/Parker book (Elburton, Plymouth, Sheffield, Staines and West Ham) which I guess could also be a record!" Good guess Andy but not quite a record Record for meetings on the same day is probably 7 Monday 11th April 1955 Eastbourne, Hednesford, Neath Abbey, Ringwood, Staines, West Ham, Wigan Monday 30th May 1955 Hednesford, West Ham, Ringwood, Snetterton, Aldershot, Neath Abbey, Norwich Above info gleaned from the excellent briscaf1stox.uk website Going totally off topic now but just noticed on the same website that there were 17 meetings in 13 consecutive days between Thursday 25th August and Tuesday 6th September 1955 including a world final. Now that has to be a record
  3. as there is no uk racing today.Channel4 who are avid followers of this topic and have obviously been given access to Carl's papyrus scrolls have scheduled a program about chariot racing at 8:00pm tonight for all us oldies who like a bit of nostalgia. Topics that may be covered include stepped chassis, fuel mixture (hay to bran ratio),use of barn doors for aerofoils, deliberate fencing etc. There is a rumour that there may be some early footage of king John but they may have been confused as to which one
  4. Carl do you have any stats from back then, number of meetings, most successful driver, shale/tarmac split, horse power …..??!!
