Hackney Hawks speedway opened in 1963 at Hackney Wick Stadium, Waterden Road, London and operated until 1983. ==Early days== Originally opened by Mike Parker, the team joined the Provincial League in 1963.〔Rogers, Martin (1963) "Hackney Hawks Here to Stay?", ''Speedway Star'', 1 June 1963, p. 16〕 The promotion was then sold to Len Silver who was the club's promoter for the next twenty seasons.〔Fenn, C.(2003). ''Hackney Speedway, Friday at Eight''. ISBN 0-7524-2737-7〕 The riders and track staff marched onto the track to the sound of the theme tune of the film The Magnificent Seven and that tune inspires more memories for Hackney Hawks fans than anything else. The Hawks were closely linked with sister track the Rayleigh Rockets and latterly the Rye House Rockets.〔Jacobs, Norman (2001). ''Speedway in London''. ISBN 0-7524-2221-9〕 In 1971 Hackney won their only major honour when they beat Cradley Heath Heathens to win the British League Knockout Cup. The Hackney Hawks name was revived in 2011 in the National League as a joint promotion between the promotions at Lakeside and Rye House with the Hawks home matches being divided between the two parent tracks 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「Hackney Hawks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
