A group of us used to sponsor Ben Howe when he first started riding at Ipswich, i actually bumped on Shaun Tacey a few wks back at a Mildenhall meeting and he still does grass track now and then.

I have seen and spoken to him probably a couple of times in the last few years.He certainly isn't a regular like he was in the days of Wild Wayne and his posse,of which i was one😁.Did we have some great times back then.

And now it has I’m feeling sea sick 

Arena Essex had riders like Robert Ledwith, Tommy Palmer, Nick Floyd, Shaun Nicholls (related) Chris Young and Russell Etherington. And when I was a postman in Chelmsford I briefly was delivering to a junior rider from Peterborough who always looked like a fish out of water around the tight confines of Arena Essex, his name was Darren Tupper. 

So far it’s been awful, mic not working for the pre match interviews so didn’t hear a thing and it’s cut out 3/4 times and the racing hasn’t even started yet. 

Ben Howe, Shaun Tacey, Sav Clouting and Lawrence Hare was probably the best junior team any club has ever had, they were untouchable.
