Derek Bridgett has a degree in history and had life-long career industry. He lives in the Potteries. Since the 1940s Derek Bridgett's family has been connected with oval track racing and it was natural that he would get involved. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s he was part of a management team that promoted speedway and stock-car racing at various venues in the UK. Following his retirement from industry he returned to the oval track scene; this time as a spectator. Because of his interest in the subject he decided to research the history of Midget Car Speedway in the UK.
