Old Speedway Photos

[Roger Dowding]

I've been inspired to start a new thread, thanks to a batch of cool old New Zealand speedway dirt track photos posted on Facebook by Dale Mathers from the scrapbook he created when he was a young bloke. While The Roaring Season seems to cover many aspects of motorsport history, the glaring omission is speedway.

So, if you have any old speedway pics, be they dirt track, or paved oval, post them up here.

This is a thread I have not really followed, went to Speedway with my father as a teenager, he was into the Motorcycles and loved it when the English Team came for a series at Western Springs.
The " Springs " as we know has been home to Rally Stages, and competition by other cars, Racing Sports and Saloons.
" Ten Years After " - needs to come to the fore again.

A couple - make it a set - of John Larry Lawton photos of NSCC event(s) at Western Springs from the 1960's











Notes on the photos are J L Lawtons own comments.

These have appeared on the NSCC thread but relate to this Story.
