White City: Tuesday 25th July 1978 (continued)

Report on events of heats 1 & 2:

"When Rebels and Swindon were ready to commence, the starting gate would not operate and a further delay was allowed by referee Laurie Pike

while efforts were made to repair the fault. It was then announced that riders would be required to start by the green light - something which did

not appeal to either side.

All four riders due in the first race had by this time returned to the pits and arguments were still going on when Mr. Pike excluded the quartet

under the two minute rule. Then the four reserves were excluded too, and the result of heat one was announced as a nil-nil draw.

It was then that the respective captains, Gordon Kennett and Martin Ashby, talked to the referee on the telephone and were told that the rules

quite clearly stated that they should ride. Reluctantly they accepted and Hull promoter Ian Thomas went on the telephone to speak to Mr. Pike, to

explain that the riders had agreed to continue and that surely it would make sense in the interests of speedway to start the match again.

Mr. Pike, who by this time had sounded the two minutes for heat 2, wouldn't accept that argument, put the phone down on Mr. Thomas, excluded

the Swindon pair who were waiting for a decision, and started heat 2 with the White City duo who were on the track."
