The Harringay Racers were a motorcycle speedway team who raced at the Harringay Stadium from 1947 until 1954 in the National League Division One.[1]

The track was used for one-of meetings in 1960 and 1961.

Speedway was also in operation before the war, with the teams referred to firstly as the Canaries (1929-1931) and as the Tigers (1934-1939).[2].
