  • Essington Hall Training Track
    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 11 No.3 December 2009 Edition No.43 Nigel’s Natterings Nigel Bird looks at Speedway in China and the Philippines In April 1930 11 Australian riders travelled to the Philippines to compete in a Six week season of racing at the Nozeleda baseball ground Manila. By mid May they were on route for Shanghai, China. Shanghai was then a very cosmopolitan city and it had a large European population which also included military personnel. All the trappings of European culture were available including 2 dog tracks. The opening night of the Speedway was on the 1st of June, attendance is recorded as being 4,000. The diet of the same 11 riders (some would say low grade riders) soon palled and by the first week in July racing ceased. Talk now was of building a new track in French town close to the under construction cycling velodrome (board track), by the end of August there was still no sign of speedway racing. Stories in the press suggested 5 Chinese riders were on the way from Singapore, no doubt from the now defunct Alkaff Gardens Speedway. The new track may have been constructed but further research is required to find the details. The riders concerned are unlikely to be known to British fans, they include Billy Lunn, Les Levante, Mannie Scofell, Les Lawrence, Harry Radford, Tommy Tompkins, Bernie Rein. Len Street, Jack Allen, Harry Lillingstone and Arthur Yenson. Yenson had emigrated from Britain and did have some experience of motor cycle racing in GB.
