So many meetings to think about.

My favourite track is Poole, It have a good looking track and the stadium is great! I do miss the old Weymouth track, but the stadium there need to re-think about getting the sport back.

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!

What one thing would you do to improve speedway?

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

I think speedway's future is bright. But keep changing the rules and the future may not be!
