Defunct Speedway Tracks


 
 
Dunoon Speedway
 
Not much is known about this Dirt Track effort in Scotland, during June of 1932. I have started this page after receiving (from Speedway Researcher Jim Henry) the following Newspaper advert from a local Newspaper (18th June 1932)
 

Motor cycle dirt track racing (or speedway) was staged at the stadium on 18 June 1932 as part of the annual Dunoon and Cowal Agricultural Show. A demonstration event had been staged in May 1932.

The advert was "run" by The Dunoon and Cowal Agricultural Society where the speedway (Dirt Track racing) was just one of a number of their attractions. Perhaps your grandparents were there? Or maybe you have a programme etc of the event if so please email me John
 
 
Jim Henry has sent another Newspaper article as follows: -
 
 
A great example of newspaper reports from 80 years ago and documentary evidence of speedway type racing (Dirt Track) at Dunoon in 1932
 
 
 
If you can scan any pictures, programmes or badges please send me an email John
