SPEEDWAY MACHINES 1926-1980 RING BOUND

DESCRIPTION

THIS IS A 104 PAGE A4 SIZE COLLECTION OF DETAILS OF OVER 80 DIFFERENT SPEEDWAY MACHINES.

THIS IS NOT A GLOSSY COFFEE TABLE BOOK, IT COULD BEST BE DESCIBED AS A FORMAL SCRAPBOOK OF NEWSPAPER CUTTINGS, PHOTOS AND DRAWINGS OF MACHINES AND THE MEN WHO RODE THEM AND COPIES OF ADVERTISEMENTS OF THE DAY.  ADDED TO THIS IS A TEXT BY THE AUTHOR ON EACH PAGE.

THE CONTENTS ARE TAKEN FROM THE AUTHORS COLLECTION OF 50 YEARS OF INTEREST IN SPEEDWAY.

A LIST OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ARE PRINTED IN THE FIRST PAGE. EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE DUE. IF I HAVE MISSED ANYONE I WILL UPDATE AS REQUIRED.

ALSO INCLUDED  NOW IS A LIST OF BACKROOM BOYS, WAL PHILLIPS, JACK EMMOTT,  ALF COLE, GUY ALLOTT, NELSON HARRING, ALEC MOSELY, ETC...PLUS ARTICLES.   OLD ADVERTS.

A LIST OF DEALERS AND AN A-Z OF SPARES.

ARTICLES ON ENGINES,  PHILLIPS FUEL INJECTOR

SOME OF THE PHOTOS ARE NOT AS GOOD AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED BUT THE INFO IS THERE.

THE ORIGINAL INTENT WAS TO PUBLISH AS A HARDBACK BOUND BOOK BUT THE COSTS WERE PROHIBITIVE THEREFORE THE DECISION WAS MADE TO PRESENT THE WORK IN THIS FORMAT.
