The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 12 No.3 December 2009 Edition No.47 Constructive Debate Those of you who follow the Old Time Speedway chat room web site will know an article we published some time ago has been the cause of some, let us say, passionate, debate and questions about the accuracy of some of our articles. In the light of this we would like to say that we set up to achieve the sub heading above but never set up to make any claims about the accuracy of the material we publish simply because we cannot check every item we receive and publish. We accept, in good faith, that the article represents the honest belief of the contributor. Equally, that should anyone consider there are factual inaccuracies in any article that they let us know their differing opinion and we will publish it provided it is not going to land us in court i.e. isn‟t offensive to or is a personal attack on anyone. We would like to move on from this episode positively and, as a magazine which is nearing the half century edition, would like to see it continue to hit the 100, have everyone pulling together in pursuit of a common chequered flag. Keith Cox an original Edinburgh Monarch Tony Webb’s coverage of the lesser known lads continues. Keith Cox had a long career in Australia from 1946-1958, he ranks as one of the few Australian legends who never reached his true potential in Britain. -
Boxing, Governance and Western Law
An Outlaw Practice: Boxing, Governance and Western Law Ian J*M. Warren A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Human Movement, Performance and Recreation Victoria University 2005 FTS THESIS 344.099 WAR 30001008090740 Warren, Ian J. M An outlaw practice : boxing, governance and western law Abstract This investigation examines the uses of Western law to regulate and at times outlaw the sport of boxing. Drawing on a primary sample of two hundred and one reported judicial decisions canvassing the breadth of recognised legal categories, and an allied range fight lore supporting, opposing or critically reviewing the sport's development since the beginning of the nineteenth century, discernible evolutionary trends in Western law, language and modern sport are identified. Emphasis is placed on prominent intersections between public and private legal rules, their enforcement, paternalism and various evolutionary developments in fight culture in recorded English, New Zealand, United States, Australian and Canadian sources. Fower, governance and regulation are explored alongside pertinent ethical, literary and medical debates spanning two hundred years of Western boxing history. & Acknowledgements and Declaration This has been a very solitary endeavour.

The Trail Blazers
The trail blazers Shale and pace: a packed crowd takes in the action at Eastbourne in 1955 By Steve Havelock 12:01AM BST 13 Apr 2004 This weekend marks the 50th anniversary of stock car racing in Britain, as Steve Havelock reports Fifty years ago, on Good Friday, April 16, 1954, more than 30,000 people brought London's Old Kent Road to a standstill as they tried to cram into the tiny New Cross Stadium to witness the UK's first stock car race. Even the local railway station put up notices warning passengers not to alight because they wouldn't be able to get in. Such was the success of this inaugural meeting that it sparked a golden era of stock car racing in this country. The event was staged by a flamboyant, naturalised Australian motorcycle speedway promoter by the name of "Digger" Pugh, who had witnessed the spectacle in America and France and decided to introduce it to England, placing an advert in the London evening newspapers saying: "Stock Car Drivers Wanted." Fifty years later, I tracked down some of those people who replied to that advert and took part in that first meeting. Among those who answered Digger's call was surgeon's daughter Tanya Crouch, an attractive, rebellious thrill-seeker who charged around the countryside in a vintage Bentley and earned her living by dynamiting tree stumps out of the ground. She went on to become one of the country's top drivers and a huge crowd-puller with her no- nonsense approach. Now in her eighties, she told me: "I saw the piece in the newspaper and rang Digger.
