My very good friend in New Zealand, Wally Auckram has forwarded me a copy of an excellent publication edited by Max Rutherfordd dealing with the early history of various speedway formulas in New Zealand. Among the contributors is ots forum member Dave Gifford, who provides several informative articles on the track in both pre-war WW2 days and the early 1950s. While midget car racing dominates the publication, there are many mentions of solo speedway riders including Jack Hart, Gifford, and the legendary woman speedway star Fay Taylour. There is a mass of nostalgic midget car photos that recapture a magical and historic time for the four-wheel speedway sport. The editor and joint publisher of the 160 page book plus front and back cover is Max Rutherford working in association with Gifford. The page size is 20cms x 30cms. Unfortunately I have been unable to establish a price for the book - which I fully endorse as an excellent publication. For further information contact info@histroricspeedway.co.nz For my part, I know that the excellent publication will hold a valued place in my speedway library. It is a top marks publication.Attachments:
