Other Museums

Recommended Posts

Are there any other museums with a speedway or even board racing exhibit?I have seen that the museum at Hockenheim has what looks like a brilliant collection of racing cars and bikes,but am not sure if they have any relevant exhibits to speedways history...

Thanks arnieg.The Garage Mahal I always thought was a private collection.Steve Luxton is a relative of one of our members and have seen a few photos.Looked like a bar with speedway bikes etc as decoration.

 

Am I right in thinking Ole Olsen has some memorabilia on display in Haderslev?But in a hotel rather than museum?

I am certain that at one time in the late 1940s there was a small speedway museum associated to Exeter Speedway? A confirmation - or denial! - would be appreciated. I have an idea that the famed Falcons' legtraiier and later their team manager Bernard 'Bronco' Slade was involved with the museum.

I found a Denver Broncos museum,but that has nothing to do with speedway.And i think other than finding a time machine in the attic how do you propose visiting this museum that existed maybe,possibly in the 1940s

Seems i made a mistake and assumed it was at the stadium.Looking at further info it seems it is actually within a Shopping Centre,which would possibly attract more interest and promote the club/sport even more than just the converted who visit the stadium :t:

There are a few bits and pieces of Bristol Speedway memorabilia in the M Shed museum in Bristol - no real thought or narrative behind it though
