Dragons Amateur Speedway Club return to competitive action on Sunday July 21st at the Norfolk Arena, King's Lynn following a massively successful Training & Practice Session at Sittingbourne a week ago.

 

The event coming up is open to all, both classes and ages with the option to just practice in between the races should you not wish to compete on the day. You do not need to be a Dragons Club member, as day membership is available.

 

It is a 1pm start and we ask that you arrive a minimum of one hour before so that we can get you booked in and your bikes examined.

 

Entry for the event is just £40 with a guarantee of five programmed rides, although that can be higher as at our last event at the NA, a rider who was covering retirements and had an R/R ride ended up taking to the track no less than NINE times, (and was disappointed when he wasn't in the nominated riders heat !!!!!!)

 

Entries for this event close in Sunday 14th so if you fancy it then contact Julie Tutton on 01633 858899 or 07920 002785 to reserve your place.

 

We look forward to seeing you then.

 

Cheers, Russ

It's fast approaching that time again folks, the Dragons Amateur Speedway Club will be holding their eagerly anticipated MTD Group Credit Crunch event at The Old Gun Site, Sittingbourne on Sunday 4th August.

 

This is the Clubs chance thanks to the continued backing of The MTD Group of companies, to say thanks to all the riders that have supported the Club, by allowing riders to take part for just £15 for members and £20 for non-members.

 

Unfortunately due to event restrictions that have been in place at the Iwade circuit this years event will be a winner-takes-all single legged event, as opposed to the two-legged version that we have held in the past.

 

To book your place for the Credit Crunch contact Julie Tutton on 01633 858899 or 07920 002785 and reserve your place.

 

The event is Open to all but priority will be given to Club Members, although with 42 spaces up for grabs there should be plenty of room for everyone, with Open, Intermediate and Support Classes anticipated.

 

We will also be looking for Team Managers for the six teams so if you fancy trying your hand at being the next Rob Lyon, Alun Rossiter or John Sampford then get in touch, you have six teams to choose from !!!

 

You really have nothing to lose, be part of something amazing with the Club that changed the face of Amateur racing.

 

Get your entries in by Thursday July 25th.

Following on from the awesome Credit Crunch event that took place at Sittingbourne last Sunday,the Dragons return to the Norfolk Arena for their next event on Sunday 25th August.

 

The Club continues to go from strength to strength, with new members joining on a regular basis.

We have been completely blown away that we have already had several riders who have taken their first rides in ther sport with our Ride n Slide Dayz have now joined the Club and taken part in some of our events, the latest of which was a visitor from the Isle of Man who had a bumper weekend last month taking part in his second RnS Day at Mildenhall and then competing in the Dragons event at King's Lynn the following day !!

 

As always, our events are open to anyone and with any size machinery, all can be accommodated. Also, should you wish to practice instead of taking part in the competitive side of things this too can be arranged.

 

The event is open to riders of all abilities and riders will be grouped amongst others of a similar ability, to offer a competitive day throughout.

Must be cancelled as Kings Lynn have rearranged tonight's meeting for Sunday

[Ride n Slide Dayz 2012]

This weekends meeting for the Dragons Amateur Speedway Club has been cancelled following the rescheduling of the Stars' Elite League fixture against Birmingham, following tonights rain-off. With the Elite League cut-off date being this coming Tuesday, this fixture is an absolute must for the Norfolk side so naturally takes precedent.

 

The Dragons event was always going to be touch and go with rain forecast for mid day through till late evening but we would have made a decision tomorrow to avoid the possibility of unecessary travel on Sunday.

 

The Club now looks to it's next fixture at Sittingbourne on Sunday October 6th, entries close Sunday September 29th, so book early with the season drawing towards its conclusion and get some of the Dragons experience, its the place to be [so we are told !! ;o)) ]

 

Russ

[Ride n Slide Dayz 2012]

After losing our last fixture due to the rescheduling of an Elite League fixture at the Norfolk Arena, it's time to get down to the nitty-gritty with the start of the end of season Championships, starting at the Old Gun Site, Sittingbourne on Sunday October 6th, with a mid-day start.

 

The day will see our Intermediate and Support Class Championships decided, but the event is open to all, whether your a Club level rider or either of the aforementioned Classes, where you are more than welcome to compete as a guest if you haven't reached the qualifying level of three meetings (either completed or intended to but event was postponed) Also there will be the opportunity to practice in between the heats as usual should you not wish to compete in the event itself.

 

Please get your entries in to Julie Tutton on 01633 858899 or 07920 002785 before the closing date of Sunday 29th September.

 

We also get back on track again two weeks later when the Club Class Championship will be fought out at the Norfolk Arena, King's Lynn on Sunday October 20th. Entries for this event close on Sunday 13th.

[Woodee]

This should be a great event! Hoping the weather is kinder to us than it has been over this past week!!

[Ride n Slide Dayz 2012]

The Dragons Amateur Speedway Club return to action at the Norfolk Arena for the penultimate time this Sunday (20th) for their Club Class Championship event.

 

This is where the big guns of the Club will go head-to-head for the title on one of, if not 'the' finest and best prepared race circuits in the country.

 

The event is a 12 o'clock start and will also feature Support heats open to all comers, current members or those wishing to join us for the first time for a taste of the Dragons experience.

 

As usual with the Clubs' Championship events you must have ridden with or have had the intention of riding with us if a meeting was cancelled at least twice, however, even if you don't meet this criteria you are welcome to come along and pit your wits against those competing as a guest rider.

 

One rider to look out for on the day will be our newly crowned Intermediate Class Champion, Rob Watts who stormed to an awesome 15 point maximum at The Old Gun Site, Sittingbourne a week and a half ago, by finishing in the top three of the event he earnt the right to join his Club peers in this weekends Championship event, have a great one Rob.

 

Entries have officially closed for the event (it would appear that my original post did not upload ! ) but we do have a few spaces still available so contact me on 07976 424145 or Julie Tutton on 07920 002785/01633 858899 and we will do our best to squeeze you in.

 

So with just two events left this year, Sundays and then the Clubs' "Big Bash" on SATURDAY November 9th why not give us a try, many have and no-one has been disappointed, it's the place to be !! ;o)

 

See you Sunday, Russ

[Ride n Slide Dayz 2012]

Dragons Amateur Speedway Club completes it programme of events on Saturday November 9th at the Norfolk Arena, King's Lynn @ 4pm.

 

The event is our much anticipated End of Season Big Bash which features Six teams from the three different riding ability ranges, one team from each group is linked by a theme, a colour or animal, (Kestrels, Eagles, etc) and it is the overall combined score of the theme that will be deemed the winners, so as much as you and your team may win their meeting they can still end up losers overall !!! So sometimes you really do win when you lose !!!

 

The event is open to anyone and everyone as usual and will be followed by the Club's end of year presentations and open forum, to discuss the season just gone and any plans for 2014 etc.

 

We always welcome newcomers to the Club so if we have eluded you all year, now's the time to give the Dragons experience a go before will pull the curtain down on 2013. To secure a place at one of the biggest Amateur speedway events of the year contact Julie Tutton on 01633 858899 or 07920 002785.

 

So why not come and join us two weeks on Saturday either with bike or without, speedway on the best track in the country under floodlights, it really doesn't get much better !!

 

See you there, Russ.

 

Note: Please STOP using massive test and starting duplicate topics - same rules apply to you as to everyone else

[Ride n Slide Dayz 2012]

Dragons Amateur Speedway Club winds up its 2013 season with the traditional Big Bash Event at the Norfolk Arena, this coming Saturday, November 9th with a 4pm start time.

 

The event will see the Portsmouth Puma's take on the Huntingdon Hawks in the Club Event while the Chesterfield Cougars take on the Kettering Kestrals in the Support Event. The winners overall will be either the 'Big Cats' or the 'Big Birds' once the scores have been added together, so someone could well go out and register a maximum for their team and see their team win but ultimately end up going home empty handed !! ;o(

 

The presentations after the meeting will also see the awards for Rider of the Year, Most Improved Rider of the Year and Club Person of the year awarded so it looks like being an extremely exciting night at the Uk's Premier Race circuit.

 

So why not see the season out in style, hat, coat, gloves and some top quality amateur racing under the floodlights, it doesn't get much better than this !!

 

See you all Saturday, Russ

 

MOD NOTE: Once again STOP using excessive large text

[Ride n Slide Dayz 2012]

Today's season finale (Saturday 9th) for the Dragons Amateur Speedway Club at King's Lynn has unfortunately been postponed due to a waterlogged track from heavy overnight rain and more forecast at lunchtime today.

 

Our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused, unfortunately, it is always the risk we take running into November, some you win, but ultimately some you lose !

 

Our thanks to everyone who has ridden with us in 2013, making it the best season for us to date and we look forward to seeing you all again next year.

 

Very best regards always, Russ Paine on behalf of Dragons ASC.

[Woodee]

Shame for the season to end this way, good ol' british weather huh!
