Bigger Thrills ... And Better

Better than ever will be the speedway this season. Some members of the club have spent many long and hard hours repiling the track safety fence, providing banks for new seating areas, re-siting and enlarging the pits and making a new track entrance. Many firms have loaned machines for only the cost it takes to run them.

Patrons will be looking forward to the new season, which starts this month.
