David Kipling of oldstox.com thought (hoped?) you might have contact with members of Jimmy Wright’s family. He’s mainly known as a speedway motorcyclist and later stock-car driver, but did I believe dabble in midgets in the ’50s Would be delighted if you can give me a clue I’m trying to track down information about a road-race car Jimmy raced (possibly only once) back in 1950. And a photo would be a dream come true! Best wishes David McKinney

Jimmy Wright died recently aged 82 years. He took up driving both Skirrow midget cars and stock cars in 1954 following his retirement from speedway the previous year. As a speedway rider from 1946 he rode for Birmingham, Cradley Heath, Oxford and Cardiff.
