The 1929 English Dirt Track League was the inaugural season of speedway racing in the United Kingdom for Northern English teams.[1]

Summary

The season was littered with mid-season withdrawals but eventually the Leeds were crowned champions. In 1930, the league was renamed the Northern League so the league existed for just one year.[2]
