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?

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

Thanks for your replies folks. I've posted on the Macgors forum, but am looking for specific car images of drivers as follows:

Blondie Chamberlain
Murray Gordge
Maurice Cowling
Albert Gordge
Bruce Robertson

Blondie in his early days.

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: mailto:?subject=&body=

Thanks in advance.
