Stock car rallies in Wimbledon - Stock car racing past and present

Wimbledon Wimbledon stock car rallies

At Plough Lane Wimbledon stock car rallies happen in Wimbledon Stadium, close to the site of the former ground of Wimbledon. The Wimbledon stock car rallies are overseen by BriSCA (British Stock Car Association) in league with Spedeworth International and is an integral part of the fixture list whose duration runs from September until March. In stock car races there is a certain amount of contact allowed, which allows for a limited amount of vehicle contact so as to try and affect the driver's focus so they end up losing line. The uncommon racing contact code meant that Wimbledon stock car rallies were usually attended by more than 30,000 spectators in the 1950s. The popularity of Wimbledon speedway stadium with Wimbledon stock car rallies fans means that punters always flock there, with two factors being the largesse of the racing track and it having some of the best facilities for stock car rallies in Great Britain.
