Last night's meeting at Northampton started at exactly 7.30. The show began with a parade of competing riders, introductions and the like. This over, racing commenced with the first heat going to the tapes at 7.45. Northampton is currently the best-attended speedway in Britain, so why shouldn't they show off their wares with a parade, etc? They advertise starting at 7.30, that's what they did .......
