Talk:Ascot Park (speedway)

Lets talk Ascot. I am looking for anyone who would know if there are any articals or film of races back in 1964-1967. My father build a car and had someone else drive it. And they won a few races too.Lwatt (talk) 04:22, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

OLDER version of Ascot
It appears that an earlier version of Ascot Park existed, back in the early 1900's, apparently in the same general area, and it was a horse racetrack, with gambling (although it appears there was some early auto racing there as well at times).

Read this early newspaper report: http://www.ulwaf.com/LA-1900s/06.01.html#AscotDoom

There is also mention of it here (with a photo of race cars): http://historylosangeles.blogspot.com/2009/04/shoestring-corridor-begats-harbor_10.html

If Wikipedia is going to do an article on Ascot, it shouldn't fail to research this original incarnation of the track. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.246.69.110 (talk) 03:02, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
