Speedway was first held in the town on
4th August 1928 and although the track was there, the fans only
got to see 4 meetings in 1928 and 1 in 1929. The track
was reported as "egg-shaped" making one end very tricky!
You will see from the following newspaper cuttings reference to
"Dracers" and "Dracing"
