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]
Australian Vic Duggan was the top man in the league for a few years. His brother Ray raced with him until his death in a track accident in Australia. Split Waterman, signed from Wembley, took on the mantle of top scorer. Jack Biggs had a couple of spells with Racers sandwiching a time at Bradford.
The track was used for one-of meetings in 1958, 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]
