SPEEDWAY IN WALES By ANDREW WELTCH
The amazing "boom and bust" (and boom again) story of motorcycle speedway in Wales, from its launch in front of 25,000 fans at Cardiff in 1928 up to the 2002 season. The book covers the early tracks at Cardiff, Pontypridd, Caerphilly and Tredegar, the post-war ventures at Cardiff and Neath, the full story of Newport Wasps, the long tracks at Ammanford and Prestatyn, and the latest venues at Carmarthen, and of course the magnificent Millennium Stadium. Fans of Stock Car racing will be intrigued to learn of oval-racing promoter Trevor Redmond's key role in the Welsh speedway story, and how Stock Cars found themselves involved in a court battle over racing at Prestatyn. £12.99 (p&p free)
