Wimbledon Wimbledon stock car events

On Plough Lane Wimbledon stock car events take place at Wimbledon Stadium, near to the former stadium of football club Wimbledon. The Wimbledon stock car events are part of the BriSCA (British Stock Car Association) in partnership with Spedeworth International and forms a key fixture in the season which runs from autumn through to spring. In stock car races there is a certain amount of contact allowed, so there is an incentive for motor racing drivers to cut up opposing cars and unsettle the driver so that they lose their line and can't stop an overtake from happening. This stock car racing special rule meant that Wimbledon stock car events could regularly attracted 30,000 people or more in the early post war years. The popularity of Wimbledon speedway stadium with Wimbledon stock car events fans means that spectators will always be enticed there, with two factors being the largesse of the racing track and it having great facilities for stock car events within the British Isles.
