Barnet Speedway (Bypass)

Barnet Bypass, London

The track staged training for speedway between 1929 and 1936

The track started off as grass but cinders were added as the grass circuit was worn away.  The circuit was sold off and has now been built on.  The promoters moved their operations to the home of British speedway High Beech

Roland Albert Scott (no. 69)

Roland Scott on the left, racing in the early 1930's. Don't know who number 11 is.  If you recognise him send me an email John From this picture it appears the Barnet track was dirt (I think cinders were gradually added mainly to the corners.  The track appears to have an uphill slant to racing.  The photo is excellent and was sent to me by Roland's daughter Ann Bellingham (nee Scott).

Another excellent early 1930s photo from Ann.  her dad Roland is no 69 far left.  The track appears to be on another slope?  Does anyone recognise the other riders John

Ann says her dad won many trophies 1930-1932 at this circut.
