old bob at herne bay Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Hi, Has anyone ever come across lists of British Speedway Promoters from its earliest days here ? I’ve not found anything- but wondered whether someone has compiled such a list - especially as speedway lurches towards its 100th Anniversary ?

Obviously, everyone has ignored your post so far, but to be honest, I think that is a great idea! I'll start looking around, and see what info I can come up with... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdave Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Ask Google "Who were the British Speedway Promoters in (year). You'll get some basic information on people or companies who promoted speedway in the year specified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
