The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Bob Kilby/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

In the infobox the dates may not be accurate. They were taken from the web page link (#2) and the detail and the commentary are in conflict over where and when Bob rode. From memory, Bob rode for Robins in 1974 and Oxford then White City (1976) BUT possibly some of the events were guest rides (which is why he is wearing a Rebel or Robin vest in some photos from that period). Bob had a blog (as we call it now) in the Oxford Journal in 1974, the year he joined the Rebels. Bob's brother, Mick, was a photographer at Blunsdon in the 70s. I was a photographer at Oxford from 1974 - 1978. Unfortunately I have no written records from that period, having given away my programme collection years ago. I hope Bob's entry can be corrected or confirmed. He was a great guy.Lawson Speedway (talk) 08:47, 26 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
