Paul Carter who had a barbers shop top of Canal St used to look after the track on Woodhouse Lane.
It was used mainly for dog racing then the speedway started followed by stockcars about a year later.
Paul Carter said the stockcars did more damage in one night than the speedway did in a season.
There was also kennels in a field closed to the track where they used to keep some of the Greyhounds they caught fire one night and a lot of dogs perished.
