There are four places left for 12th April. We will run this (and all other rounds) even if we don't get all eight places filled because we will will have 32 senior riders anyhow. However, I'm worried about the state of British speedway when we can't find eight riders to ride in something like this four times a year. What do people think the reason is and more importantly what is the answer? I actually think British Speedway should be doing more to attract youngsters into the sport.

There are several problems

1 Not much track time in the season

2 Its alot of money to start with which most families don t have

3 Unless you really love the sport its very off putting to spend all this money and then travel for 100 miles for say 8 laps

4 People also wonder were will my kid race if they are good enough but need a little race experiense answer no were not even conference now due to non british riders been allowed in.

 

I will be booking ashley in for the rounds after 6 may and will sort this with you on 13 april session
