All those who are worried about the track surface may want to know some of the history. Spedeworth changed it from tarmac to shale to ensure the Dutch F1 drivers continued to support major events at the track. The shale was laid on top of the tarmac (I don't know how deep it is) and Spedeworth have worked hard to make it a good surface which does not rut up with the F1's on full power. I am sure they have the equipment to make the track suitable for Speedway a few days after a Stock Car meeting as Deane Wood, the boss of Spedeworth, would not want to have his stadium criticised for a poor track surface. He was a very accomplished Stock Car driver and understands how the track surface is critical in making for good racing.

My worry is that, potentially, we have a motor sport firm taking over at Ipswich and I remember all too clearly what happened to Rye House in a similar situation.

As Len Silver said at every Hackney meeting "Make it a date, Friday at eight".

He will tell the FIM to move their date like he did when wrecking Arena Essex's fixture list.

Brafield Badgers.

The big reveal was what she became famous for!

Nothing Len ever did was an accident, he knew exactly how to get the best out of every situation.

I have reported your request to the mods and hope they act on our requests.

That was apparently not a defence according to our wonderful court system. It was such a shame the house burnt down during the legal proceedings!

They will find that Deane Wood, the owner of Spedeworth, does not take kindly to an organisation acting like a big bully. Since Deane owns the stadium his word is the one that matters.

Spedeworth bought Mildenhall from RDC Promotions when RDC folded due to the legal problems they faced with a newly moved in local who objected to the stadium noise.

I would say that the crowd levels were very similar at most meetings. Both sports had some meetings with better than usual crowds but there was never that much difference.

At one time the Mildenhall fish and chips had a brilliant reputation among the stock car and banger fans. I found the Rye House chippy was brilliant at speedway meetings but not as good at stock car meetings for some unknown reason.

Because of the size of the league it has been decided to have five teams qualifying for the playoffs.

You must remember that we are dealing with the BSPL when talking about deals.
