A new cycling club was formed in 1951, called Sleaford Wheelers, the annual subscription was fixed at seven shillings and sixpence. The new club revived track racing in the town and Sleaford Wheelers Club Championship races were held at the Sleaford Show from 1952.
The Show quickly became very large and popular, the attendance in 1953 was 13,000. Cycle racing became a fixture at the show and in 1953, K Godfrey of Notts Castle BC won the Godber Challenge Cup. It was reported that the track was rather bumpy and damp from morning dew, which resulted in many spills, some riders described the track as dangerous. In the evening floodlights were switched on for the sports.
The 1955 Show included horse jumping, athletics and cycling, a horticultural section and shows for dogs and caged birds. There were five cycle racing events, Colin Marshall, the Sleaford Wheelers star won the open mile, the Club half mile championship and was second in the open half mile race. In the final of the 5 miles scratch race, all five riders crashed on the last lap, when the leader went down. Bud Harris of Sleaford Wheelers extricated himself from the melee and went on to win amid great cheers.
Wet weather resulted in a poor attendance in 1963, but the cycle racing was keen, with Roy Swinnerton of needing one further victory in the Granta Challenge Cup five miles scratch race, to make the trophy his own property. 38 years old Swinnerton never looked like losing and romped home in the final sprint, beating JS Graham of Border City Wheelers.
The Sleaford Show gradually declined in popularity and was last held on August 13th 1966. Rather fittingly in the last cycle racing to be held at the show, local champion Nev Crane of Sleaford Wheelers won the five miles scratch race and lapped the field.
There was an attempt in 1993, to turn the Sleaford Carnival into a two day event like the defunct Sleaford Show, but the bicycle racing only survived for a year, which was the last cycle racing to be held at Westholme Grounds.
The Grounds still exist, although a Tesco Superstore has been built on part of the site.
