Download or read book Clem Beckett written by Rob Hargreaves and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clem Beckett was fourteen when he first rode a homemade motorcycle over the cobbled streets of his hometown. It was the start of a lifelong love affair with speed and machines. For Beckett, the motorbike was a means of escape from the uncertain future of Oldham’s stricken industries in the aftermath of the First World War. Beckett’s zest for life, his natural exuberance and determination to be a winner, overcame the disadvantages of a poor home bereft of a father. As a pioneering Dirt Track (speedway) rider he broke records galore, and as a volunteer in the Spanish Civil War he broke down class barriers. Whether as a tearaway teenager, an outspoken sportsman, or a member of the Communist Party, his life was characterized by broadsides of irreverence towards authority. To Beckett, the appeal of revolutionary politics was youthful rejection of ‘old fogey’ values and the dominating role of of tweedy gentility in motorcycle sport. Reviving faded memories and anecdotes of his career as a pioneer speedway rider, this book traces Beckett’s extraordinary rise from blacksmith’s apprentice to superstar, in a new sport which typified the energy of the Roaring Twenties, and was characterised by risk-taking and serial injury. Ever the showman, and banned from the Dirt Track for trying to protect his fellow riders from exploitation, Beckett took to riding the Wall of Death. Observing the rise of fascism on his travels in Europe, Beckett’s increasing involvement with politics led to marriage to the mysterious Lida Henriksen, and inexorably to volunteer service in the British Battalion of the International Brigades in Spain. A narrative spiced with anecdotes and new revelations about Beckett shows why from boyhood to the poignant circumstances of his death in battle, Clem Beckett inspired love and loyalty.

Book excerpt: "Darrell "Bubba" Wallace Jr. drives a race few have driven before. He's climbed up racing's ladder from driving Bandoleros and Legends cars as a kid to making his NASCAR Cup Series debut at Pocono Raceway in 2017 behind the wheel of the iconic No. 43 that was once driven by NASCAR's king, Richard Petty. Before getting there, Wallace drove for NASCAR Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs in Joe Gibbs Racing's developmental program in the Xfinity Series. Wallace's path, like many others before him, was full of encounters with NASCAR legends. What makes Wallace's path different from that of almost every other NASCAR driver is that he's setting records as an African American driver. With a Cup Series win and six trips to victory lane in the Truck Series under his belt, Wallace set a new bar. No African American driver since Wendell Scott in 1964 had won any race in one of NASCAR's top three national racing series"--
