Craven had earlier set a track record of 68.8 seconds in his first race.{{cite news |title=Ove Fundin Wins The 1960 World Speedway Title |work=Birmingham Daily Post |date=19 September 1960 |access-date=7 July 2021 |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000513/19490923/078/0005| via = British Newspaper Archive|url-access=subscription }}
