iainb 5,022 Posted May 10, 2020 Forgive my little advert... but having watched the heats on the random speedway heat thread it inspired me to transfer my Speedway DVD collection to the internet and create a YouTube channel. The source material sometimes leaves a bit to be desired as it's all VHS transferred to DVD and then to PC and then re-encoded, so you may be able to find better quality elsewhere (some of the VHS's were Long Play also... remember that!!). I tried to do this before but ran into copyright issues with some of the content, so hopefully it'll be OK this time as I'm being more careful. Anyway, the channel is called "Sunshine Speedway" and I'll be uploading what I can over the next few days. If anybody does view it and has any better idea of the dates or venues of meetings please do leave a message somewhere and I'll change it. Hopefully there's some interesting and rare stuff there you may not have seen before. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbfL52jLjSBNAZUPgTWCDDw/ 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knowle 51 Posted May 12, 2020 Watched Sheffield / Ipswich double header last night and the sound was about 3 seconds ahead of the action which was really annoying until I muted it. Did anyone else experience this or is it my rubbish equipment? Not the first time this has happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately the Tigers were 3 seconds ahead of the Witches far too often for my liking but the sound was fine 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the top riders were here, strong teams, Loram in his pomp, Poole being predominately British, little Australia down in Norfolk and the lovely Suzi Perry in the pits with her great rapport with the riders. Great times. Thanks for uploading. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great to see characters like Dave Norris, Stoney, Sean Wilson, Screeny et al, some of their interviews were priceless. Thanks also from for taking the time to upload them, many of them also edited down nicely too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alexsmith195032 0 Posted May 20, 2020 Why they do not this kind of events in speedway track specially while cinemas closed down this will creat extra income. And there is no social distance problem On 5/11/2020 at 5:22 PM, iris123 said: I don’t know if it is possible in the UK, but I have already mentioned elsewhere the plan that one club in Danish football have if putting up big screens in their car park and having spectators turn up in their cars. An idea that has also taken off in Germany with drive in cinema and even discos. You pay online so it is all contactless and you have to alert an attendant if you need to go to the loo. The problem of medical attendance will still remain for speedway though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedway fan 206 Posted May 26, 2020 BIRMINGHAM supporters will be able to relive the night Speedway racing returned to Perry Barr this Wednesday (May 27, 7.30). The Alan Hunt Memorial Trophy will be the focus of the latest 'Brummies In Your Living Room' series which has proved popular among the club's fanbase. Team manager Laurence Rogers said: "As soon as this current season was delayed we were keen to provide supporters with their regular Wednesday night racing fix by bringing them old meetings online. "At first we stuck to a selection of our meetings from last season but now we've decided to dig deeper into the archives. "For the foreseeable future we'll be extending our series and supporters will be able to relive some dramatic fixtures from over the past 13 years or so. "Our thanks once again go to ReRun Productions for providing us with the footage and we hope supporters continue to enjoy these streams while it is viable to bring them their way." A link, featuring nearly 90 minutes of footage including interviews with Ivan Mauger, Tony Mole, Graham Drury and Jason Lyons among others, will be posted on the club's official website and social media channels at 7.30 prompt this Wednesday (May 27). The fixture took place on March 21, 2007 and a competitive field was assembled for the historic re-opening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
