Richspeedway Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Just finished reading the Tamworth addition of the Defunct tracks. Really interesting read as living in Tamworth I was aware of Old Deer Park but not the other track in the 30's Shame Tamworth went so quickly though fans not going when they became a Birmingham feeder side obviously did not help. Shows how times have changed as they closed due to low crowds of around 3,000, think some teams would love that figure now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbuck Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 The track at Fazeley did linger on until about 1961, as a greyhound circuit which also staged stock car racing. I believe it was looked at as a potential Provincial League track but I think it was already doomed to demolition by then. That's a pity, as Tamworth is a much larger town these days than it was in the 1940/50's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
