speedwaykate

yes i totally agree , that katie mason was defiantly the best female speedway rider eevvrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

thankyou all very much for your info. my dad (bob mason) is now in contact with howard cole

trying to track down an old friend of my dads.HOWARD COLE. i believe he rode for stoke roundabout 1962.im told he moved to australia to be a teacher??? my dads name is bob mason . any help would be greatly appreciated .thankyou

i dont think in any sport i have done i have gone to do with the intention of thinking , i have to be world champ or i cannot do this sport?? i think im going to do this sport because i enjoy it , and it keeps me fit .i have raced with some of the best in my time , yer they got to the top . well done to them .. i sat on the terraces for years cheering the lads on , next step for me was to join them . and im damn glad i did .. GO GIRLS ..

well somebody has to stick up for us girls montana.. hehe . who says only lads can ride speedway?? ive seen many lads doing balllet, dancing and lots of other female sports.. the more this little debate goes on the more keener i am to dust off my kit and get back on my bike and kick butt !!! lol well try im prob very rusty and unfit now!

well i cant see any problem with females riding speedway at all. i rode motox and speedway . i also did rugby , football, figure skating, tennis , bmx racing, dancing, and hockey . most of these sports are male based sports. but did i care???? did i sucseed?? and did i give the boys a run for their money ???and the main question did i enjoy it ??? YESSSSSS loved it the best years of my life so far. people winge about kids these days sitting in front of computers 24/7 . kids cant win back then or nowa days . i got on very well with all the lads i raced speedway with and had great times. the fact that i was female only ruffled a few guys feathers and that just made me more determined to beat them . the one tricky bit i had to over come was the changing rooms at tracks , half the time i was in a cleaning cupboard ,or a toilet , but didnt bother me . my main aim was to get on that track and race . GO GIRL POWER . IF U GOT THE GUTS TO RIDE SPEEDWAY . GET OUT THERE AND DO IT !!!!!! no you prob wont be world champ or appearing in a gp . but how many MALE riders that compete all the time do this!!!!

i used to ride at hackney,in the years 1989-90-91,, god i feel old now lol..i loved the track being a beginner as such.. i remember i used to ride in the second half on a friday night then on a saturday at the training sessions.we used to have to sleep in the car in the pits area over the friday night yak!!!we used to go into a little hut over the other side of the track for a coffee after the meeting on the friday night..there used to be a mechanic there called steve , he was a youngish lad. well id say about 19 ish..at the time..i would love to know what he is up to now..the best bit there was me being a FEMALE rider and the changing room senario.. i used to have to walk through the mens changing rooms with my head down(sometimes ..hehe) and go to a small room out the back to change. i think most of the guys found it funny to walk about with as little as possible on . awwwwwwwww the joys of being a FEMALE in a male orinentated sport ,,
