Yet again speedway shoots itself in the foot ...for goodness sake lets all sing form the same hymn sheet and get British speedway back on track.

Why not pop along to Mildenhall on 13th May for the British championships,once the meeting is over come along and talk to all thje Dads they will help.

This looks like being the best youth speedway meeting of the year its great to see the Mildenhall promotors making this effort for the lads well done guys!!!

What people are saying about the Leicester presenter was correct he was no good.What a shame ,it was such an opportunity to promote youth speedway!! Decent crowd why not interview Phill Morris so everyone knows what him and Neil Vatcher are doing.Talk to the 2 Nathans about winning last year and what the are doing this year.Interview Jez and Keith of Sponsor Speedway so joe publc KNOWS that things are happening in youth sppedway and THEY CAN help!! oh deary deary me what a waste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The next round of the British Championships is at Mildelhall on Sunday May 13th,please come along and support the future of British speedway and see some great racing.The riders would love to have a big crowd to create a great atmosphere. Also support Mildenhall who are going all out to to bring on the stars ot tomorrow..and the fish and chips are good too!!!!

The lad who hit the fence is Nathan Greaves and he IS ok , he broke his thumb in 2 places he,ll be fine.

Phil Morris will know HE WAS THERE!!!!!!

A big congratulations to Nathan Greaves for his 7th place (7th of 17) at Gorican on Easter Sunday against much older lads from Europe.They better watch out at Plzen in August.

Lets hope the Leicester promotors realy put the word out so a big crowd attends to see the cream of British talent.

All you Mildenhall fans alos take a look at your mascot Lewis Whitmore, only ten but what a talent now on a 250cc bike. What about some sponsorship for the lad?

Untill two weeks ago i had not been to Scunny but to say i impressed is an understatement!!Richard you are to be congatulated, if only other tracks (which are owned by the promoter) would follow suit in no time we would an army of junior talent,......KEEP IT UP MATE well done!!!!!

Its the same for Nathan Greaves 14 in Febuary so he is in nomansland, he cannot ride his 500 in the junior leagues or amateur meetings.And hopefully when he is 15 a place in the National league awaits so hardly any RACING on a 500 except for the British Championship!!

just a mention to all Mildenhall fans.. do come all to the British Youth Champinship meeting it really is a good days racing AND you get to seee all the talent WE DO have in Britain

what about riders like Robert Lambert And Nathan Greaves who are both 14 will they be able to race in these leagues?

Does anyone know the details of the league engine sizes, age groups etc?

This is fantastic news what is most encouraging is that Jon Cook has iniated this league which means promoters are realising that these kids are the riders of tomorrow, so well done to all involved and lets see more of these leagues in the rest of the country.

Just a few notes on costs, ihave been involved with a junior rider since last summerYOU CAN FIND ITEMS CHEAP IF YOU LOOK!! Ii can get 4 litres of Castrol R40 for £30 free delivery, chains proper ones £15each no vat,ihave just bought 5H/L type clutch plates £15 each on ebay.Carcleaner..good stuff..Wurth less than £4 a tin it just takes time to find it. It IS OUT THERE> I meant carb cleaner!! Happy hunting

Track time is at a premium in this country. the last two posts are right it si not easy to get plenty of track time for our youngsters AND not cheap.Just see what tracks charge for practice . Now i understand they have to cover costs like everyone does but we do not give our youngsters enough track time. Just have a look at Sweden and Denmark thats how to bring on the young talent.

As you say Ian surely its in the promoters best interests to encourage the youngsters after all THEY are the riders of tomorrow!!!!

Just looked on Sky teletext on teir latest news page on speedway. Page 4 roll of honour there in blacl and white are the 3 youth champions at last recognition.

Just remember it is NOT cheap fuel(for the van),tyres, fuel oil clutch plates chains, oil lube etc etc

Thanks Phil for putting me right on the amounts, also i had no idea that the BPSA put 7k into the fund, when i see the money put in by Sky it does still seem chicken feed, like i said i admire what you and Neil do , i was at a couple of rounds and witnessed first hand how good you both are at encouraging the kids. So keep it up and see you soon at next years meets.

I totally agree with everything said , so where is the help from the BPSA . Of course Neil and Phil do a fantastic job but where is the incentive to go for a championship when the prize is a voucher for £20 for oil!!! SO LETS GET REAL.... speedway is expensive, like all motorsport. So BSPA well done dor Neil and Phil they are great BUT ...... give the boys some financial help too YOU CAN AFFORD IT!!!!!!!!!

Off course they should Matt . Don't the powers at be want to encourage our riders of tommorrow. We have plenty of talent out there but its SO expensive. So give the young riders an incentive.

I think its a250cc in the British mate. But hey if he is not redy stick to a125ccbike and just do training days till he is ready,.
