Superstox
Later in the sixties the event attracted Spedeworth's Scottish drivers and then the European competitors (the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium) from the NACO organisation.
The Superstox formula remained essentially a European one until the appearance of some South African drivers in the late 1960s when Spedeworth gained an affiliation there.
One American driver, Al Contreras, represented the USA in the early 70s but he, like the inaugural champion, Scott was serving as an airman in this country at the time.
The Auto Spedeway team league[3] was set up by Stock Car promoter Spedeworth International for the 1971 season.
The 1972 fixture schedule was not completed due to some driving standards problems and also the closure of Cross in Hand raceway in August that year.
