New tracks and new rules for Speedway racing

(By JIM RILEY)

Speedway racing, the sport that in Britain attracts

the largest crowds next to Association foot. ball, is now in full swing and weekly meetings are taking place on every one of Britain's 34. tracks licensed by the Speedway Control Board, Over six millions watched the sport when it was resumed on a large scale in 1946 after a lull during World War II. Attendances increased, by 40 per cent. in the following year, and steadily rose until 1949 sow attainment of an all-time record of 12,585,698.
