Book - King of the Weir - Motorcycle Racing in Albury Wodonga, Guy Ellicott, 2018
“King of the Weir” documents motorcycle racing in the Albury Wodonga region which has a rich history dating back to the 1920’s when speedway was king. Speedway gave way to scrambles, and then tarmac racing on aerodromes, army bases and circuits. The Hume Weir circuit held the “King of the Weir” race for ten years attracting such riders as Ron Toombs, Greg Hansford, Murray and Jeff Sayle, and Kenny Blake. Overseas champions Jim Redman, Tom Phillis, Geoff Duke, Bill Lomas and Dickie Dale came to do battle with the locals in the 50’s and 60’s.
