Enjoy Slaski!

You (and others) might be interested to see some pics I got from Slaski at the weekend. It's obviously a very different modern stadium to the one that hosted many World Finals. But it still teems with history....the cable cars running by the stadium were something that rung a bell with me. There are also several homages to speedway's history in the stadium, though interestingly,  very little about PC's, Ivan Mauger's or Hans Nielsen's wins...most of it was around Jerzy Szczakiel's win.

Yes, definitely been completely redeveloped, but still on the same footprint.

Initially, PC will be a printed softback (386 full colour pages). But it's very likely that it will evolve into an eBook edition too at some future date.

As for the other autobiography we have planned for next year, I'd rather not reveal the author at this early stage. But it's none of those you've mentioned.

I do hope it is from the 'BackTrack' era.:blink:

I'm fine thank you ch958. I don't get to Whitley Bay any more, or the Speedway. Very sad it closed at Newcastle though.

I hope everyone is OK with you..

Does anyone know if/when the last issue of the Backtrack magazine will be published? Is there a future for the magazine(s)?

Tony says he is in talks - we must await the result. Fingers crossed.

Very sad news but it appears that the next edition will be the last.

I, for one, will miss the two magazines...from dropping thru' the letterbox I wouldn't put them down until having absorbed all the contents. At least I have the entire collections to browse thru' at my leisure reminiscing the good times!

May I take this opportunity in thanking Tony Mac, Susie and all the contributors over the years.

Has the (sadly) last Backtrack been issued? I've subscribed since day 1 but don't know it that covers the final issue. If not, how do I get a copy please?
