Matt says: I've attached a picture of the very
first Hull Vikings race jacket (1971) for your site, it
belonged to Reg Wilson. I'm always on the lookout for Hull
Speedway race jackets so if you know of anyone who may have
them, please get in touch.

Dean Wormall says: The
signature is Tommy Johansson (my hero at the time).
Out of interest, I got Tommy's autograph as he was going up to
the referee's box after a bad decision! That's how much those
riders respected the fans and earned the fans respect. I was
lucky enough last year at Cardiff to have a pic with Jimmy
Mac, still involved in the sport, which is great!

Hi
John, Love the website, and as an ex Hull Vikings fan I took
the attached photos (first five) when the Boulevard finally closed
as the ground of Hull FC in 2002. Please feel free to use
them if they are of any interest. Bizarrely, although the
speedway had finished 21 years earlier, the Boulevard was briefly
re-born as a greyhound track, with the track following the same
layout as the speedway track had done. Those are the last two (colour)
photos. Cheers Richard Watson Wakefield
