Guest Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) The driver of the Skirrow midget car in this photo, taken in 1951 at Coventry, was also a leading rider for the Bees speedway team. Can you name him? Edited May 9, 2020 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed, Johnnie Reason was involved in transactions regarding the purchase and transfer of land (all above board) sold together with the football club's ground at Highfield Road prior to the ill-fated move to the Ricoh Arena.

After speedway he set up a haulage business. His father-in-law was a coach operator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
