ps if anyone is near a venue, its worth a looky !! :wink:
I remember them from my teens :roll: , there used to be regular meets somewhere around Armadale, think it's just a dog track now.
I've recently thought about going back to watch speedway again, haven't been since I used to go to Albion Rovers stadium in Coatbridge (http://www.defunctspeedway.co.uk/Coatbridge%20Speedway.htm) in the 70's.
Now I think my nearest one will be in Ashfield Stadium in Glasgow, coincidentally the home team are the Glasgow Tigers (http://www.glasgowspeedway.co.uk/index.php)
Ah !! Armadale, i remember it well !! :) but these things are HUGE unlimited cc, 1500kg, V8 Monsters :shock: :D
Quote ( It's not speed, aggression or strategy, but a combination of all three that determines the real winners ) :shock:
