cyclone 946 Posted June 27, 2011 It was midget cars and few other tracks which no longer ran bikes regularly participated at that time, including Stoke, Coventry,and I believe White CIty Glasgow & Stamford Bridge. Midgets also ran at Belle Vue & there was a one-off meeting at Marine Gardens in 1938. Post war there were midgets at various venues, including Perry Barr and Old Meadowbank (1954). Derek Bridgett who is related to Alan & the late Bill is the guru on this and has published a book on the sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
