Unfortunately for the speedway, 1916 was the final year of racing. Many of the big name drivers had joined the war effort. Attendance was low, the track was dismantled and was sold off to satisfy creditors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
