I have every Speedway Star since 1959, and quite a few before, and throughout those 61-years, I've never seen a better publication than what they are producing at this moment in time. PHILIP RISING, ANDY SKEELS, PAUL BURBIDGE, MICK SMITH, JEFF DAVIES along with DAVE FAIRBROTHER, take a bow, because you deserve it, you are all a credit to your profession. So once again, a MASSIVE thanks from the bottom of my heart. They have pulled out all the stops and each week's Star is incredible value for money. Literally hours of reading. Well done the Star team - fabulous work being done. I'm still half an edition behind in reading so was not disappointed that today's issue hasn't arrived (no complaint). Star by name, star by nature. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted May 7, 2020 Another great issue today, especially the saga of getting riders out to Rovno in 1991. It's the perfect example of very welcome 'filler'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) The current issues remind us that speedway has a huge story to tell, even if there's nothing happening right now. The success of Backtrack, I suspect, is not just nostalgia, but the previously unwritten back stories - why and how things happened behind the scenes. These are things that the internet cannot provide as easily as it can provide results but along with speculation and gossip often posing as news. Sometimes it needs expert hands to establish and make sense of what is or has actually been happening and that's worth paying for.

HGould 2,200 Posted May 8, 2020 Another great edition thank you, loads of variety Zmarzlik; Craig Cook, Michelsen; Shaun Moran interviews, Off the Beaten Track is always excellent and news too about Tim Dixon, The Ultimate Eagle rider; Jan Staechmann and especially Rovno all very interesting too. Smashing read!... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
