I am fairly new to speedway and go to watch my grandson ride. I have seen some PL meetings but have mainly watched Nl and i completely endorse what the dean Machine writes.
I find the matches more entertaing with more overtaking and it is good to wach the development of the young British riders. I accept that lap times are a bit slower but this is made up by closer racing.
Some posters that say they would never watch NL but they need to go and watch some of these meetings and could be quite surprised at the standard of riding.
Yes there are a few riders who are inexprienced and look a bit dodgy but after a few meetings their confidence grows and they do improve.
Also if any of the dyed in the wool speedway fans ever fancy a good days entertainment try a local Grasstrack meeting, 40- 50 races for £10-£15 and 5 hours entertainment.
