Flat-Track racing has never been the same since Kenny won the GNC on the big TZ.....
I saw a video of it once.....Absolute Photo-Finish......right @ the stripe on the final lap of the final race of the '75 season....
He went by all 3 of Hardley's famed Wrecking Crew......in a BLUR!:riding:

Speedway is nothing to scoff @......especially on the ICE!

I'm que'd up to go this......[Only registered can see links. ]

I saw this event the last time it came to PDX.....a good handful of years ago...
Great Fun!......they also race Quads on the hockey rink.....but they actually still have brakes!.....:riding:

Hi Yamahead
go to Cradley Heath and take up a position at that odd empty bit of the stadium .... you get covered in shale ... but speedway is fun ... when I was younger I rode grass track on a Puch engined Antig [Only registered can see links. ]
