British Under 15's Championship 2007

Recommended Posts

How many are on 80cc's, there were no British entries in the championship this year ?

The 80cc class is popular in Scandinavia but I don't hear much about it in the UK.

Russia bought 60 new 80cc bikes (if the rumours are true) at the start of the season.

My grandchildren have just started Grasstrack and are loving every minute of it. So can anyone suggest what I should do if either should show a particular talent for the sport and wish to go further. Nothing on this thread has encouraged me to think of speedway. BSPA? Huh. Until an organisation that really cares about the sport (rather than making/trying to make money from it) runs the U-15s, it seems that we can all forget it! :angry:

I couldn't agree more. I've been watching and riding speedway on and off since I was a young boy. I'm now 37 and my 9 year old son has started to show an interest in motorbikes. I actually put him off starting speedway and bought a motocross bike for him instead,(which he is loving) simply because of the way kids are treated in this sport of ours.

 

I can remember as a young teenager, maybe 14 or 15 years old, travelling hundreds of miles to get a few minutes track time at the end of a meeting.

We pay £20 for my son to ride at an organised and marshalled motocross track and he can stay out there from 10am until 4pm if his arms can take it! There are amateur clubs with all different levels of rider, graded on ability, engine size, age etc.

 

I don't remember being unhappy with the way I started out in speedway, but I do remember very often being frustrated and feeling like we were a nuisance to the promoters and trackstaff at the end of the meeting, getting in their way when they were trying to organise the clean up of the track, rather than maybe a future asset to the club.

 

If my son wants to start speedway at a later date that will be a choice to make then but for now, and certainly for a couple of years to come I'll do my best to keep him on the mx bike.

Don't know how many genuine 250 riders there are gonna be this year, there will probably be several 500 riders riding 250's though. THIS IS WRONG, if you are licenced to ride and have been riding a 500 then you should stay on a 500. Thought the 250's were to bring on the younger lads, not the riders with several years experience in riding 500's.
