Hi all, Some of your lads are getting a bit confused with the other famous Walthours. They can't find anything on Google about Jimmy. I believe Bobby Walthour Snr. was Jimmy's uncle. Anyway he is a list of Jimmy's Six Day victories. 1925 New York ( Fred Spencer) 1928 Chicago ( Franz Duelberger) 1928 Detroit ( " " ) 1933 Chicago ( Ewald Wissel ) 1934 Toronto ( Fred Ottevaire - Reg Fielding) 1934 Pittsburg ( Henri Lepage) 1935 Toronto ( Alf Crossley) 1935 Los Angeles ( Alf Crossley) 1935 Pittsburg ( Alf Crossley - Charlie winter) 1936 Toronto ( Charlie Winter) 1936 New York ( Alf Crossley) 1938 Milwaukee ( Alf Crossley) 1938 Pittsburg ( Alf Crossley) 1939 Cleveland ( Alf Crossley) 1940 Pittsburg ( Bob Thomas) I did say on my previous postings that he was one of the Worlds greatest 6 Day rider ever surprised you can't find much on him your side.

Best wishes and be lucky. Michael Butler Huntingdon UK.
