The opening meeting of the Edinburgh dirt track season at the Marine Gardens Speedway l14 April 1930 was not too reassuring for local talent as the Marine Gardens stars were unable to prevent the spoils going to the Manchester contingent.
The Mancunians, Frank Varey, Frank Charles and Eric Langton were in top form and the first named won both scratch races while Charles took the Handicap. On point of performance Langton was best as he established new figures of 1 min 29 and one fifth secs for the four laps from a standing start.
The crowd was 18,500. |
