Harold Pollitt

Harold Pollitt started his racing career in 1970 at the Salford Albion Stadium.

A regular article in the race meeting programme included a section about the drivers called "Behind the Goggles"

The images below show the article on Harold.

The local newspaper at that time took a great interest in the sport, often reporting on the progress. Images below show some of these early prints.

Harold raced along side many friends in the Hell drivers days. The team at Flixton consisted of three brothers Alan, Mike and Paul Reece, with others such as Ken Leadbeater, Ray Harding. Some of them are shown below with machanics Bob Eaton, Lazlo, Terry and Nige.

The image below shows the after effects of the Destruction Derby won by Harold at White City Stadium. The damage resulted in a bad leg injury.
