The post-war era was British speedway's golden age. Ten million spectators passed through the turnstiles of a record number of tracks at the sport's peak. With league gates as high as 80,000, speedway offered a colourful means of escape from the grim austerity of the times. A determinedly clean image, with no betting and rival fans mingling on the terraces, made speedway the family night out of choice. The sport thrived despite punitive taxation and Government threats to close down the speedways as a threat to industrial productivity. A three-division National League stretched from Exeter to Edinburgh and the World Championship Final attracted a capacity audience to Wembley. Test matches against Australia provided yet another international dimension. Even at the height of its popularity, speedway was a sporting edifice built on unstable foundations, which crumbled alarmingly as the 1950s dawned and Britain's economic and social recovery brought competing attractions like television.

Having arrived in Britain in the late 1920s, dirt-track racing soon established itself as an incredibly popular national sport. By the end of 1928, there were more than 50 tracks throughout Britain. Many venues were opened and run sporadically over the next seven decades, particularly during the heyday of speedway after World War II, when interest was phenomenally high. As a result, the sport has taken place at numerous locations throughout the country. Featuring more than 300 venues, this new edition is fully updated with new tracks, updated track information, and a host of new illustrations. Every track is afforded statistical information, including address, years of operation, track lengths, promoters, and club successes. The more important homes of Speedway, for example Belle Vue, Swindon, Wimbledon, and Coventry, all receive highly detailed synopsis.
