11 years old! Must have been one of the youngest riders there?

 

Was this at Sidewinders?

Yes it certainly was a very exciting meeting, well done to young Authur and the other riders for making it a great night.

On a sad note Mark Mitchell had his trailer stolen from his house with his speedway sidecar and all his gear inside on friday, so please keep an eye out for it and his Bills Bits and Bikes trailer.Mark is a keen rider and supporter of speedway and donated a helmet to raffle and gloves for all the place getters at the junior titles and doesnt deserve this kick up the behind.
