October 2008: I was delighted to find the website for Gus Kuhn, although I must confess to not having heard the name before. I was born in Leyton in 1924 and have very fond memories of my father taking me to the Lea Bridge Speedway, or Dirt Track as we knew it. I loved the smell and the roar of the bikes, and standing at the side so I went home covered in cinder dust. I also remember with great clarity the side-car races and the bright colours worn by some of the riders; my favourite was one in red, white and blue. I'm now 84 and still look back to those memories with great fondness. Who were the riders, where did they come from? Cheers, Jim Holder-Vale
