Re: Auto racing 1894-1944
I found this 1937 picture of the UK midgets and their peculiar style intriguing as that's the year midget racing was introduced here when A.J Roycroft brought down a troupe of Americans and an Aussie (where they'd been running for a couple of years) to demo.
The photo below shows the locals were instantly hooked, Mathieson selling his Miller and the legendary 'Satan' Brewer spawned. The Wylie's were pioneering hot rodder racers, Arthur winning numerous hillclimbs and such with his model A and in the 50s building a very advanced for it's time rear Jowett engined open wheeler.
