speedyguy Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) This has just been posted on http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/oldtimespeedway Fri Jul 17, 2009 2:25 pm mattjackson Re: Louis Lawson, RIP I'm not sure that is right. I was doing research into the riders who started their careers in the 1940s and was checking the birth dates of riders at the Family Research web site. Louis was born on October 25, 1921 at Southwell, Nottinghamshire and the entry is there in the ledger: Lawson, Louis - born Southwell. I've also read the Arthur Woods story but I think that Louis Lawson was his real name. Edited July 17, 2009 by speedyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 This is John Chaplin's reply: "As far as I know, Louis Lawson's name was Louis Lawson. I think there was a myth years ago that Louis Lawson was not his real name, but I interviewed him and there was never any suggestion that he was called anything else."
