Three years later the club moved to Bytom and changed their name to Ogniwo, before returning a year later. In 1954, the club became Sparta before but changed again to its original name of Tramwajarz before the club disbanded in 1964. Tadeusz Kołeczek of Ogniwo Łódź finished second in Polish Individual Speedway Championship in 1950, Włodzimierz Szwendrowski of Sparta Łódź, won the title in 1955. Gwardia Łódź 
Gwardia Łódź was formed in 1967 and ran for 14 years until 1980; they stayed in the second division and often languished in the lower half. JAG Speedway Club
