I have to admit I know nothing of this competition but have heard over the years that Dagenham, Luton & St Albans were involved in it. Also Tommy Price, first English World Champion, was in the Luton team, but cannot say any of this is for certain or provide any proof of these items. Without proof "I know nothing" and will not make it up to suit myself.

On the assumption that Luton only operated in 1935 (?) with strong links to Wembley, it appears possible that a Sunday Dirt Track League ran that season,...
