I'll pop up and give you a pat on the head Bryn, but won't be wearing my hearing aid, so I'll be able to save your lungs some work....how's your sign language??

 

Is Goldberg going to be there, or is he still competing in the athletics at the Olympic Games?

 

Seriously though, it's always a fun few hours out for real speedway fans and something that as you say, is free. Yep a good weekend what with the Young Stars v Mildenhall tonight followed by the STR Meeting tomorrow lunch-time, and we'll stil be home in time to see Goldberg bopping away to the Spice Girls at the Closing Ceremony.

Just a reminder to local speedway fans that their is a FREE meeting at the Norfolk Arena this lunch time (12.00pm) as the Southern Track Riders hold another of their meetings.

 

These meetings often contain riders such as Brendan Johnson, Andy Mountain, Robert Hollingworth, Lewis Rose and so on and so forth, and on top of that, are producing riders that have now progressed to the Anglia Junior and Midland Development leagues, so it's a more than worthy cause of competition.

 

If you have a couple of hours or so to spare, do pop along, because as I say, it's not going to cost you a penny.

 

The usual food outlets will be open, so you won't go hungry or thirsty either. Hope to see you at lunch time, and bring your sun cream.

Phew, two additional riders included in the Open Class made chaos of trying to adjust the programme, but we got there in the end.

 

What we witnessed was a meeting with lots of passing and at times neck to neck racing, and these Southern Track Riders certainly know how to put on a show. With it being such a hot afternoon, dust started to rise quite early on, but trackman Mick Daw did a great job in keeping the situation under control, which was a blessing for both the riders and the supporters.
