  • Volume 15 No.2 September 2012 Edition No
    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 15 No.2 September 2012 Edition No. 58 Lee Richardson The tragic loss of Lee Richardson has had massive coverage in other publications. We would just like to add our sincere condolences to Lee’s wife and children and to his family and friends. Editors Speedway in Australia 1926 In 1926 Lionel Wills visited Australia and his thoughts on speedway in Australia was published in The Motor Cycle on November 25th of that year. We now reproduce that article. “Motor racing,” an Australian daily paper remarked recently, “has definitely become one of the major sports of Sydney.” In Australia, in other words, a motor race meeting often draws as big a crowd as does a football match, and the time is obviously approaching when it will rival horse racing, the Australians’ favourite pastime. Now even with the increasing popularity of the T.T. races, the same cannot be said of England, and it may therefore interest home readers to hear how it is done on the other side of the world. In cinder-track racing Australia has discovered a type of event which is as thrilling as the “T.T.,” and even more spectacular than sand-racing; in addition, it requires a not very great outlay of capital, and the track is easily accessible from the big city. Ten minutes on a tram, fact brings Sydney to the Speedway Royal, which is simply, a broad unbanked cinder track constructed round a football oval. Australian football is played on an oval field, and the track round it is about one-third of a mile, with huge stands all round, having accommodation for thousands of people.

  • On Some Things We'll Never Agree by Robert J
    On Some Things We'll Never Agree By Robert J. Rogers The question of who run Speedway first is interesting, and open to argument. With Mankind always ready to challenge its self, as soon as you get something to move, then you try to prove yours moves faster, and if you can put that challenge in an enclosed condition, i.e. a circuit, and charge for the public to watch this, you have motor sport, and therefore you have Speedway. Here in East London, there is a record of Motorized Bicycles, racing on an oval track, on the memorial ground, E.15 in 1906. There are many records of the same sort of thing in various parts of the world, with America having a form of Long-track racing back again in the early 19 hundreds. I think it is fair to say that Johnnie Hoskins was the first person to 'Market' the sport, and being the great Showman he was I can understand his claim to have 'invented' the sport. I meet John a couple of times, and yes he was larger the life, to see him 'hold court' in the West Ham pits while talking to the fans, you knew you had met a great man. High Beech is the official Home of British Speedway because it was the first to hold an official recognised event by the ACU calling it Dirt track racing. Manchester claims it was first in 1927 in England, but again it was not formally recognised by the ACU as Dirt Track. Having gone to the 40th Anniversary meeting at High Beech, I must claim High Beech as the home of racing! In the early days of boom or bust for Speedway in this country, there were many tracks which came and went, and many others that were never formally authorised by the ACU for racing, so another argument of which club was which.
