Bradford - under the Ham brothers promotion it was always a show at Odsal no matter what level of racing.

Pardubice (Czech Rep) - I have been to the Golden Helmet a few times & it is a fantastic weekend. All 6 rider races superb.

Somerset - When it is prepared well it produced some of the best racing.

Rye House - After the improvments to the track from the last promotion it allowed some excellent racing lines.

Reading (Smallmead) - whilst I enjoyed the Tilehurst circuit I was maybe to young to appriciate it. But to see Per Jonsson come round the pit turn at Smallmead then lock up to pass Nielsen on the kerb of turn 4 to win on the back wheel was a very special night.

I also enjoyed White City (W12), Wembley,  Edingburgh (Powderhall), Berwick (Berrington Lough) & Workington.

NSS (boring choice but valid none-the-less)

Gillman - Adelaide (I'm not showing off. This place has a very special place in my heart/memory as some will attest to).

Bydgoszcz - Not too many arguments I suspect.

Sheffield - Thank you Neil Collins

Cradley Heath - RIP

Hyde Road - Belle Vue ( old school speedway )

NSS - Belle Vue ( for racing but not the atmosphere )

Redcar ( amazing what they produce there on a budget )

Scunthorpe ( always produces great racing but it isn’t the safest track in the world with Armco barriers and girders everywhere )

Torun ( ( the Carlsberg of stadiums )

( worthy of a mention- Somerset, Edinburgh - Powderhall, Peterborough, Bydgoszcz on a good day )
