It is a great family sport and everything is good about it.

What are the worst things about speedway?

I wish they keep the rules basic and easy to understand. The black/white helmet colour rule is one to go!

As I said before, Go back to basic rules. Do sometime about getting the track covers to stop all rain-offs!
