This page features all of the results of Hastings Saxons along with the averages of the riders. The top of this page features results from 1948. Please click here for 1949 results and averages. My sincere thanks to Kenny Burnett for supplying this information. Kenny is currently compiling a book charting the history of Eastbourne Speedway which of course will include speedway at Hastings. I am looking forward to aquiring a copy when published and I hope to feature and advertise it on this site. Where there is a report of a particular meeting on another page on this site, there is a link on the date. More reports, and hence more links, will be added as time goes on. |
