Annderson was unable to compete. having unfortunately broken his leg in the run-up to the final. A select few Eastern riders were presented with the brand new Jawa two valves (designed primarily for the ice racing market where they captured the first four places in this year's World lee Championships) which were reported by Czech rider "in the know" Jiri Stand. as actually being faster than the four valves.

He had been called in as a guest replacement for Michael Lee in the Kings Lynn Team. to find himself up against fellow American and Cradley Heathen. Bobby Schwartz. a late appointment as guest for the Birmingham Team. The two men met in heat three. tangled, and ended together in the safety fence on the deck. Bruce was most unhappy about this incident, especially as Bobby went on to win the re-run. But, to cap it all off. the two met again in the final heat where the match could have gone either way. The pair literally tore into one another, forcing errors by the very ferocity of their challenges. Having passed and re-passed four times. Penhall was eventually the one to crack and Schwartz won the match for Birmingham with t_his ride. 1st Kenny Robel t. 2nd Rich Schlachter 3n1IIppIIc:atIon . - _ broc.......
