Yes it is . I find speedway so exciting to watch . A fair chance over the next two or three years we could get Swindon , Coventry , Wolves , back on track and possibly a team at Northampton now they are revamping their stadium !
Thanks dogsbody . A very cheerful and enthusiastic commentator , seem to enjoy himself ! Even though that racing was in the thirties , it still looked blooming fast !
These guys were the real deal .
My mother used to call them “Gladiators “ ! They sure were , good racing !

Thanks Kevin . Have a look at the Kings Lynn v Belle Vue match on my channel if you get a chance !
Speedway is still very much alive and well.

This is very early 30's, you can tell by the skinny rear tyres which quickly got wider.
