Motorcycle Racing at Crystal Palace - Data

[ChrisN]

I am new to this excellent site, and have searched most of the forums but have not been able to find an answer, so I am posting here as it seems the most appropriate.

I am looking for data on motorcycle racing at Crystal Palace specificaly during the 50's and 60's. If possible does anyone have any information on races, line ups, results etc. for this period, or know of a site where this may already be held? Any news paper articles would also be welcomed !

Thanks

What info are you after Chris? you can find the dates in my new book, or you can wait on here until RAP turns up and he should give you chapter and verse

Initially I am after some details about a specific rider, George Harris, who raced there several times, but specifically want some info on a race that happend on or around the 3rd of August 1959 that he competed in. Sorry to be a bit vague on the exact race /time etc. Let me have the details of your book though, sounds interesting

There is a bike sport history thread in the Nostalgia Forum of Atlas F1.They might help.
