    Volume 4 No.3

    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume No. 4 . No. 3 December 2001 Edited by Graham Fraser and Jim Henry Subscribers : 200 We welcome articles on modern or post war venues and start this edition with an item about a hazy Midlands venue which flourished in the late 1940s and early 1950s. THE TRACK AMONGST THE TREES Part 1 : The First Two Seasons Philip Pike has penned an article about the post war Midlands venue, Tamworth and in this edition we cover the first two seasons 1947 and 1948. The article will be completed in the next edition. If you drive along the A5 through Fazeley towards Nuneaton, on the right hand side of the road you will see some houses set behind some trees. This is where the Tamworth speedway track was situated, close to Drayton Manor, which was at one time the home Sir Robert Peel who founded the police force. Set amongst the trees the Deer Park Stadium exuded a friendly ambience that was, at the time, missing from those tracks located in an urban setting. The track measured 352 yards and the team for the opening 1947 season were known as “The Hounds.” The race jacket (which was the subject of much debate in The Speedway Researcher) had a red greyhound in full flight on top of blue and white halves. The promoter was former rider Arthur “Westy” Westwood who appointed Australian Steve Langton as team captain. Langton had raced in Britain in the pre-war days turning out for Lea Bridge, Hackney Wick and Birmingham.

    The Speedway Researcher

    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 15 No.3 December 2012 Edition No. 59 Paddy Mills Another of Keith Farman’s biopics. Paddy rode under an assumed name, as his real name was Horace Albert Burke. He was born in Leicester 24.7.1913. The reason for this was that in the 1930’s, while living in the Spalding area, when he looked on a motor bike as a means of making a noise, and his fists as making a living at the boxing game, he ran up against family opposition. He worked on the principle that what the ears don’t hear the brain won’t worry about, so he changed his name, and the name stuck with him when he changed the canvas ring for the cinder circuit. Paddy, by trade a painter and decorator, always had a craving for adventure and excitement. It was when he was misled into missing an Area boxing final, held at the Corn Hall, Spalding, that he decided to see what was cooking in the speedway world. On a Sunday he and Stan Williams went to the Nottingham track and persuaded them to give them a trial. Paddy’s chain came off and he put in such a poor performance that he never did get another ride at that track. Next Paddy had a go on the Melton Road track in Leicester, which was the only three-lap track in the country. With him at that time were Geoff Godwin, Don Houghton and Wilf Plant.
