I am anxious to establish contacts with South African midget car/speedcar followers.

Don't hold your breath about getting a reply. I spent nearly three years trying to find a motorcycle speedway contact there without any luck. I do know that there is quite a lot of midget car racing in South Africa but they seem to have an isolationist mentality in regard to making contacts outside the Republic.

I am researching the South Africa v UK test matches that took place about eight years ago (I think it was 2002). My request is a bit extensive:
I need the actual results, venues, and team points scorers (and the teams) for these matches.
I would also like a South African viewpoint on their opinion of how the UK midgets compared to theirs.
Was any member on here involved in these matches or can they give me a link to a South African one.

You might like to look at www.gpmidgets.co.uk click on history, then 1993, you will find some answers there..

That's why I couldn't find anything on the South Africa v England test matches. Naughty boy Rod. Unlike you to give a bum steer but thanks for your advice all the same. I forgive ya! What there is available are reports. Anywhere the actual points scores for each side in each match can be found - or am I missing that again?

Re the points scored, it would be nice to have a full breakdown but what's in the reports is all that came over at the time unfortunately. Glad my history pages are still of occasional use to people!!
