Spencer Morton Norwich stock cars 1954

Recommended Posts

Guest

When stock car racing started at The Firs, Norwich, in 1954, speedway riders were banned by the Control Board from competing in cars there - and at other tracks. Many skirted the ban by driving under other names. The Norwich opening meetings were dominated by a driver named Spencer Morton. I have a suspicion who that may have been. Anyone care to speculate? I'll give my opinion later in this thread - if there are more Posts!!!

The winning driver was Wal Morton. He later explained that he drove as SPENCER Morton as a tribute to former Norwich captain Australian rider Bert Spencer.
