Has anyone seen the new Speedway Magazine that's just come out called Backtrack ? Got the first issue at Sheffield last week and it's absolutely superb.First issue is only £1 but i don't know what it costs from issue 2 on.It's the same size as Speedway Star, 40 glossy pages,all black and white.Some really interesting stuff in the first issue.Penhall interview,Wembley World Final 81,Ipswich team 1975,Hull at the Boulevard,Les Owen,Cyril Maidment,Craig Pendlebury, Romford Bombers,Brian Collins,Howard Cole,Hackney Hawks,Sunderland,John Langfield,CVS.There's a website but i haven't checked it out yet www.retro-speedway.com If anyones interested i can give the address for subscriptions or if you just want the first issue to judge it yourself.You won't be disappointed,and no i don't have anything to do with anyone connected with the publication,lol.Things like this deserve our full support.

Issue 2 is being completed this week and will be out, on sale early part of next week.

 

Some of the highlights to look forward to...

 

Kenny Carter is the 'main man' this time, with an exclusive new interview with former Halifax and Bradford promoter Eric Boothroyd, who knew Carter better than anyone outside the immediate family.

 

Eric has some very fascinating views on his former No.1.

 

There will also be an exclusive new interview with Ronnie Moore, one with referee Frank Ebdon, plus features on Terry Betts and Exeter's coup in signing Ivan Mauger in 1973 and we're asking if the 1973 KO Cup match race decider between PC and Mich was the greatest ever race to be seen at Hyde Road?

 

Plus...

Middlesbrough, Rob Grant (Berwick), Newcastle, Vic Harding, Colin Caffrey, Arena Essex, Coventry v Cradley Heath is the 'Happiness is 40-38' match from 1983, review of the 1985 World Team Cup final from Long Beach.

 

And there's more...
