Cordy Milne the USA speedway rider won midget car racing's first World Championship at the Hackney Wick Stadium in London in August. Most of the track cars were Skirrows provided by Harry Skirrow who I think also competed in the championship heats.

Cordy Milne the USA speedway rider won midget car racing's first World Championship at the Hackney Wick Stadium in London in August. Most of the track cars were Skirrows provided by Harry Skirrow who I think also competed in the championship heats. WORLD MIDGET CAR CHAMPIONSHIP (Hackney, August 4, 1936) Scorers: Cordy Milne (USA) 7, Dickyy Case (Australia) 6, Bob Deihl (USA) 6, Harry Skirrow (England) 6, Billy Murden (England) 4, Tommy Sulman (Australia) 3, Ron Wills (England) 3, Putt Mossman (USA) 0, Ewald Schitzer (Germany) 0. Reserve: Les White (England), did not drive. Heat 1: Case, Milne, Wills, Heat 2: Deihl, Mossman (disqualified), Schitzer (disqualified). Heat 3: Skirrow, Murden, Sulman. Heat 4: Case, Skirrow, Mossman. Heat 5: Deihl, Murden, Wills. Heat 6: Milne, Sulman, Schitzer. Heat 7: Milne, Murden, Mossman. Heat 8: Deihl, Sulman, Case. Heat 9: Skirrow, Wills, Schitzer. Heat 10: Wills, Sulman, Mossman. Heat 11: Case, Murden, Schitzer, Heat 12: Milne, Skirrow, Deihl. Note: I would point out that as these were three car races, the points scoring would have been 2 for a win, 1 for second, 0 for third place.
