The team first competed in 1969 promoted by Maury Littlechild for Allied Presentations who also promoted the Rayleigh Rockets, the Sunderland Stars and the Reading Racers. Littlechild died on 12 July 1972, with Ken Adams taking over until the end of the season. 1973 saw Len Silver take over on behalf of Allied Presentations, continuing in that role until former Crewe rider Dave Parry took over in 1975. However, the club ran into financial difficulties and closed at the end of the season.
The track operated for a short time in the late 1920s / early 1930s.
