that,s a lot of meetings for this year,is it worth cleaning the bike?

[Woodee]

I will attend some of those... even if I don't have my bike to ride. Need my speedway fix!

[Ride n Slide Dayz 2012]

It is with the utmost disappointment that we have been informed that there will be no Dragons events taking place at the Old Gun Site , Sittingbourne for the foreseeable future. This is a situation that has arisen and is beyond our control, to say that we are devastated is the biggest understatement ever but we now have no choice but to press on. We are looking into the possibility of holding events elsewhere and will inform via this forum if anything should prove successful.

 

Many thanks for your support, Russ and Cookie.

[ManxGaz]

Such a shame when we were so close to starting the season.

 

Lets hope an alternative is found soon and wherever that may be I am sure you will have continued support. I for one appreciate all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes so that we have the opportunity to ride our bikes.

 

Good luck to Russ, Julie and Cookie.

[Woodee]

Thanks for letting us know Russ. Does include training days?

It is now just under two weeks until the Dragons Amateur Speedway Club kicks off its 2014 campaign at the Norfolk Arena, King's Lynn on Sunday 30th March with a 1pm start.

 

As usual for a first event of the year this will be a Practice/Training event with the Clubs' Training instructors on hand to help with anything you need to get yourself back in the swing after the winter break.

 

These events always prove extremely popular with heaps of track time available so if you wish to join us then please book in with Julie Tutton on 01633 858899 or 07920 002785.

 

With all of the problems we have experienced of late the Club is now going full steam ahead into the new season, some we hope to see you on Sunday week.

Does anyone know how mackaulie is after his fall today?

[stephen cook]

His dad came back to the track to say he was waiting for a brain scan as he had a lump on back of his head,but was sat up on a bed chatting,hospital said if scan ok,he would be allowed to go home.Not heard anything since so hopefully all ok.

The Dragons first amateur meeting of the season takes place at the Norfolk Arena on Sunday May 4th start time 1pm,all classes and abilities catered for,also open to non members,to enter contact Julie Tutton on 07920002785.

[Ride n Slide Dayz 2012]

The long wait for some competitive action is over, looking forward to seeing everyone, old and new faces alike !!

 

If you haven't experienced amateur speedway the dragons way then it's well worth giving it a go, you'll definitely be back for more !!!

 

See you on Sunday week, Russ

[the muck man]

do yous provide a day lisence or do you need your own. what are the classes and do you require new reg silencer? thanks

[ManxGaz]

I have recently joined the Dragons but rode on a day licence last year, so I assume you can still do this.

 

Normally you are allocated to group or team of similar riding ability so no one is out of their comfort zone. Not 100% sure about the silencer regs but recommend you speak to Julie Tutton on the number above.

 

Meetings are very well run and you will be made welcome, always a friendly atmosphere.

 

Hope this helps.

[lucky lee]

yes you can ride on a day licence.you don't need a new regs silencer.just have lots of fun.lee

Hello everybody,

There is now just a couple of days to go before entry for the Dragons meeting at King's Lynn on Sunday June 22nd closes.

 

This event will feature the long awaited 2013 Club Class Championship that was postponed back in October last year.

To qualify for a chance at the title you must have ridden in at least two events with us last year, but you are still more than welcome to pit your wits against the Clubs finest as a guest.

 

As always there will be full support classes on the day and we look forward to seeing you.

 

You can book by phone or text contacting Julie Tutton on 01633 858899 / 07920 002785

 

***** We have also been lucky enough to secure at date for a Dragons event at Mildenhall, this will take place on Saturday August 30th. This will prove to be an extremely popular event so book early to avoid disappointment.

 

All the best, Russ
