    New Zealand Speedway Photos Wanted

    Just wondering if we have any speedway fans here? Am looking for both new and old photos for my Kiwi Speedway Culture book. Can anyone help?

    Hi Steve, See Kiwi Speedway Culture Book thread..........May be of slight interest

    The politics of Synergy Racing vs a reasonably well known speedway enthusiast is an interesting saga if you haven't come across it.

    Old Baypark fb page has a fair smattering.

    Blondie Chamberlain
    Murray Gordge
    Maurice Cowling
    Albert Gordge
    Bruce Robertson

    Just wondering here if anyone has photos of Murray Gordge in his Rover Saloon, plus any of his Modifieds? Its for my speedway book. Barry Brown has kindly supplied me photos of some of Murray's Modifieds, but I'm keen to get more if possible.

    I've spotted a couple on the Macgors site, but haven't been able to get hold of the owners to ask permission.

    If you can help, please email me at: theroaringseason@gmail.com

    Thanks in advance.
