bigdave replied to bigdave's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
An update from Stoney after Tuesday night's NSSC event: Its 6 weeks today, until we set off for our mammoth trip through Europe in a car for under £500. There are still plenty of spaces to go on the car for £100 a sticker. Your name or company logo. We have a Go Fund me page that you can donate into, all in aid of current and riders with long term injuries. https://www.gofundme.com/f/speedway-riders-benevolent-fund?lid=6olbyjbkcgpp&utm_medium=email&utm_source=product&utm_campaign=t_email-campaign-update& Great night out yesterday meeting old friends at the NSSC in aid of the SRBF.
