The following section is posted with enormous gratitude to Frigbo who has allowed us to use his extensive rider database. It contains all riders from the top two British leagues from 1965 and lists details of every appearance (including guest appearances by 2nd division riders for 1st division teams. Guest rides undertaken in the same league as the rider's club are not included), as well as individual honours. In the case of GP appearances, a "wildcard" could mean a rider who has come in to replace another. I have been trying to expand it as I go to include riders from other countries, as well as linking in results and our interviews where relevant. It will eventually, hopefully, be an in depth research tool for speedway fans. As you can imagine, this has been a time consuming project for us, as well as those who should also be named and thanked for their considerable help - Subedei, kevh, hatcham and genghis. So for this reason, I would ask that our copyright is respected. Enjoy. Edit: anyone who wants to view the databases will need to join up here and be logged in at the time: wwosbackup.proboards102.com/index.cgi?

Okay, I've deleted the indexes here as I think it might be confusing. The history forum carries full details of past meetings, plus an in-depth rider database. It's still a work in progress, but is being added to daily, and when complete, should be a great source of information. Registration is free, so join up here to see what we've been up to: wwosbackup.proboards102.com/index.cgi

All the riders who have appeared in the top two leagues in England since 1965 have now been entered in the database. We are now working on adding extra information for these riders, including photos, our own interviews, stats, autographs, and full meeting results for their individual honours. We will also be expanding to add riders from other countries as and when we can. If you are a rider who would like to add something to your profile, make a correction, or give us an interview, please contact me by email schumi2@hotmail.co.uk The results database now carries full results for all of the World and British Finals, and league tables for Britain since their inception. We are currently working on completing the GPs and SWC meetings, and have also begun the Swedish and Polish Finals, as well as the World Under 21 Finals and Polish league tables. Please drop in and see what we're up to, and feel free to offer any comments, or contact me on the email address above. Riders and results are indexed in the top board for a quick jump option, or you can browse each section by category. We hope, eventually, that this forum will become one of the best sources of information on the net. Registration is free and only takes a minute. wwosbackup.proboards102.com

As we've been adding more and more to the database it's been increasingly difficult for me to keep it up to date here as well as on the history forum, so I've deleted all threads here so as not to confuse, but kept it all up to date over there. Please drop in and see what we've been up to - the databases are constantly being updated, and I don't know about anyone else, but for me it's been a great trip down memory lane. wwosbackup.proboards.com/index.cgi?

This forum is now open for all. It is still very much a work in progress where the results are concerned, but the rider database is excellent, thanks to Frigbo. wwosbackup.proboards.com/index.cgiAny mistakes then please feel free to let us know.

Apologies for not keeping this board up to date over Christmas. I intend to throw myself back into it this week. Thanks to everyone who looks in and helps keep it going.
