speedyguy Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Major individual events on London tracks in the 'good old days' were The Laurels at Wimbledon, the Cundy Trophy at West Ham, and the prestigious London Riders Championship at New Cross. Were there similar events at Harringay, Wembley, Walthamstow? Did Wimbledon, West Ham and New Cross have other championships run on an annual basis besides those mentioned? http://londonspeedways.proboards.com/index.cgi is keen to update its results base for this type of event and would appreciate any help that might be available in compiling this. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye House, West Ham, Wembley, Wimbledon. In some cases, the winners lists go back to the late 1920s. Corrections/amendments are being sought in some cases.
