wolfcrazy 0 Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, After racing motocross all my life and finally giving speedway a go last year at the ripe old age of 35 (and absolutely loving it!) i really want to give it a proper go (as in a bit of amateur racing) so before I take the plunge and start hunting for a bike and kit I really wanted some general advice on where I could firstly get some practice in and secondly take part in a bit of amateur racing for a bit of fun? I'm based in the East Midlands so centrally based so where in the country regularly holds practice days for owner/riders to get some laps in and is there anywhere in the UK that runs amateur racing? Any help appreciated. Edited October 7, 2017 by wolfcrazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillwhitewasmad 1,486 Posted October 8, 2017 Scunthorpe hold regular practice sessions and am meetings summer and winter, rye house do lots of practice then you have your ameature clubs dragons and southern track riders. All advertise on here and face book, scunny is probably best place to start as very relaxed an informal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*JJ 511 Posted October 8, 2017 There is an amateur meeting at Leicester next Sunday, midday. You could go and see that, to see what goes on; but if you want to take part, and in most practice sessions, you will need your own equipment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
