The team have done a great job. I have only had a quick look so far but I can see that you have gone to a great deal of trouble. Thank you

Looks like a lot of work went into the inputting of the information. The 1965 stats look like they have been lifted from Peter Oakes book 'British Speedway Leagues'. He didn't do his research into this season as the track reviews published at the end of that year didn't deal with CMA's, just points and rides. All Peter Oakes seemed to do was to take the number of meetings and multiply it by four to give the number of rides. This produced averages that were incorrect.

Thanks Tigerowl. I have the Track Reviews for every season. It is my intention to revisit each year in turn once I've completed my first draft of input of the stats I have.
Not 100% sure that the meetings *4 is the case though. For example Charlie Monk has 37 meetings with 163 rides which is 4.4 rides per meeting.

Excellent site but agree with tigerowl's comments. 1965 averages with the exception of Glasgow at least were included in Peter Oakes book on the assumption most riders had four rides per meeting. This will require amendment in due course. I'll see what I can find.

Hi all, I'm half way through the letter 'R' at present. Once I've populated all riders up to 1990 I will check the 1965 track reviews and amend accordingly. Ta Apre post note: Having seen the Track Review details, I'm not sure how we're going to resolve 1965, unless I go through every Speedway Star and count up the rides!! - A job to do right at the end me thinks!

The British Speedway Handbook for the year gives the actual rides for each rider in 1965 rather than Peter Oakes's assumption of most having four rides per meeting. I could list them for you when I have a bit more time.

Brough, that would be brilliant.
I've changed all 1965's dodgy details to ?? for now.

Here's a few to be going on with Bod (figures relate to rides), but figures in the handbook only relate to league matches. It should also be noted that it appears guest rides have been included as Ivan Mauger , for example appears for Edinburgh.
