Tommy Price (Wembley) - not Tom Price (Belle Vue) rode at Luton in 1935. Another

in that side was the South African rider Keith Harvey. Is then when the Sunday

Amateur Dirt Track League operated and not 1938?

I am positive this league only operated in 1938. However, I cannot seem find any

indications of its members although I think an Eastburne team inclding Danny Lee

and Tiger Hart were members.

The league ran in 1938 and Eastbourne won an incomplete competition. Also in the

league were Rye House, Smallford, Dagenham and Romford (the latter were based at

Dagenham).

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,

probably similar to the 1938 competition already under debate.



Is there further information in this regard for 1935?
