Allan Batt's latest book- 'Among the Cinders' provides a season-by-season review of the racing , and off track dramas covering the period 1929 through 1938 when the Monica Park track operated. Many of speedways pre-war legends rode there- Lionel Van Praag, Dicky Case, Squib Burton, Eric Langton and Putt Mossman to name but a few of them. The limited edition comprising 56 A4 pages has plenty of rare, and crisply reproduced images. Copies are available exclusively from: Speedway Classics, PO Box 19-687, Woolston, Christchurch, New Zealand 8241 or email to speedwayclassics@hotmail.com The cover price is $30NZ with airmail being an additional $14NZ. Paypal, or cheques are acceptable. Edited January 25, 2015 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
