Scunthorpe Speedway School

Well we both managed to walk away in one piece, a rather battered one piece in my case 

My sincere thanks to aesdj for going to the trouble of organising that and the great company. I would  you if I could raise my arms that high and I will  when I am able to walk as far as the fridge, I had no idea it was possible to drink coffee through a straw and am getting quite used to it.

Seriously a great day out, very enthusiastic, experienced ex-racers giving all the help support and care you could wish for, I'll wear a bit more body armour next time  and I now    bullet proof nine year olds with a vengance

I second all that Sin said. Top bunch of lads and for £70 for 4 hours its a steal. I advice you all to give it a go but be warned. The injurys and aches that Sin mentioned is not a joke, there real (1 lad stopped after 2 hours due to 2 over the bar get offs and another 1 had a sore back/shoulder and forearm and struggled getting his leg high enough to get in the car the following day) but PLEASE don't let that put you off as its great fun/experiance. Just wrap up, take it steady and listen to the ex racer advice and you'll be sliding in no time.

Well done both.
