Hi guys, I’m trying to learn more about my grandad and have been told that he did speedway after the war. My great uncles watched him in Glasgow racing with the Tigers (I’ve been told the Glasgow Tigers however I’m aware that multiple teams may have had the Tigers nickname) in the late 40s or early 50s. I’m wondering if anyone here can help me find any information on him. His name was James ‘Jimmy’ Hood. Born 1920. Came from Hamilton then later Kilmarnock. He was a dispatch rider during the war and apparently bought an ex army bike with his demob money. Thanks, Max

Max, i have all the Tigers teams and scorers from they started and have not come across him. You might get something from The Speedway Researcher site for the appropriate years especially if you check the second half races. Best of luck.
