Guest Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) The late Chick Woodroffe was 'the founding father' of the Arena Essex motorsport venue that now houses the Lakeside Hammers speedway as well as other forms of motorsport. Chick passed away some years ago when the venue then transferred to the management of his son Tony. As a promoter, Chick initiated the start of speedway at Arena Essex circa 1984. He never competed as a speedway rider, but Chick was involved in small oval-cum-stock car racing. There is also debate as to if he also competed in the more speedway-orientated midget car racing. Can any BSF member answer the query? http://midgetcarpano...chick-woodroffe Edited October 1, 2013 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
