Description
Following its arrival on British shores in 1928, speedway was an almost instant success. Great personalities came to the fore, including Sprouts Elder, Lionel Van Praag, Vic Duggan, and Max Grosskreutz, and they captured the hearts of the public. Furnished with photographs, program covers, and statistics, this evocative book will call to mind a bygone age of racing.
