Started reading Rod Stewart's (I know :)) autobiography last night and he mentions that his sister used to take him to the speedway at Harringay. Led to me  thinking any other non speedway biographies mention the sport?

Martin Peters mentions in his book that he used to go to the London tracks in his youth.

Indeed it is. But that's because it sold so many first hand copies that statistically some were bound to turn up in charity shops later. I can't say I have any complaints! :cheers:

There are probably some in a hole, too... :rolleyes:

Pie and Mash is an excellent book,  I have loaned it to a number of my Canadian mates who find the depiction of  life inearly post war Britain fascinating-ration books etc. Also reading it made me wish even more that I could have seen Speedway at New Cross.
