Alan Hunt (born 1925 Aston, England - died 2 February 1957)〔Buck, B (2007) ''Brummies Legends'', Pendragon Books. ISBN 0-9541671-2-0〕 was an international motorcycle speedway rider who qualified for the Speedway World Championship final four times.〔Bamford, R. & Shailes, G. (2002). ''A History of the World Speedway Championship''. Stroud: Tempus Publishing. ISBN 0-7524-2402-5〕 ==Career== Hunt attended Tiger Stevensons training school in the winter of 1946-47 and impressed so much he was given the reserve berth with the Cradley Heath Cubs for the 1947 season who were competing in the National League Division Three. After his fourth season with the Heathens, Hunt was averaging over ten points per meeting and it was not surprising that he was attracting the attention of top-flight teams. In 1951, the Harringay Racers thought they had a deal with the Heathens to sign Hunt on a full transfer but at the last moment the Birmingham Brummies promotion took over the Heathens and transferred Hunt to them. In his first season at Birmingham he qualified for the World Final but only manage two points. It signalled the start of his dislike of the Wembley track although it was similar to the Cradley Heath track he learnt his speedway skills on. Hunt was also selected to ride for England, the highlight being a six ride, six win maximum against Australia in 1956. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alan Hunt (speedway rider)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
