SPEEDWAY

[aerostylie]

Anyone watched it live 

Now I know you're probably thinking it's all over by the first corner but believe me it's exciting stuff to watch live and a good night's entertainment to boot, with the exhaust  noise and great smell of Methanol.  Utter respect to these guys, no brakes on 500cc machines that do  0-60 in under 3 seconds , and when they wipe out, they wipe out big style.

I first went to speedway before I was even born, my Mum still went when she was pregnant. I was even caught up in the white city bomb scare in the early/mid 70s at the worlds there.

I used to go all the time when they raced at MK, now I would have to go to Peterborough or Oxford I guess. So I have to settle for watching it on SKY sports

I've become more and more interested in it over the last couple of seasons, the sky coverage is excellent and twice a week too.

I'm not far from Ipswich so am hoping to make a trip to see the real thing soon.

A mate of mine used to do speedway, he was on the swindon team (even tho he lives in Oxford, he said the Oxford team were crap).

Any of you remember Sean Scarf (top rider from the 90s who BMXed in the circus for a while with Zack Shaw)? He used to race grass track and speedway ... or thats what it said on the side of his van! ha ha.
