Ride n Slide Dayz 2012

We are pleased to announce that due to unprecedented demand we have confirmed a third 2013 event at Brandon Stadium, Coventry for Friday October 4th. Bookings are now being taken for this event in the usual way. Following the postponement of our event at Mildenhall last season despite all of Michael Lee's gargantuan efforts to make the track rideable, the demand for this seasons experience day have blown us away, selling out in under two weeks ! As this venue has proved extremely popular we very much hope to secure two dates at West Row next year which would be absolutely fantastic. A huge thanks to Chris Louis for his help in arranging to host us, much appreciated. Many thanks as always for your interest in what we offer and it's been an awesome year so far with many people returning to ride with us, bringing friends and family along to join them. In fact our most recent event at Coventry on May 31st saw not one but two husband and wives take to the track !!! Absolutely out of this world ;o) Russ NOTE: Please stop spamming the forum with a new topics

It is with considerable regret and disappointment that we have been informed that the planned Training School and first event of the Lakeside Hammers Amateur Series have been cancelled. We apologise unreservedly to everyone that had booked in with us and had made arrangements to join us. We very much hope this situation is only a temporary one and that we will be back on track very soon. Please keep an eye on this Forum for further details, thank you. Russ 07976 424145

The popularity of our Ride n Slide Dayz continues to blow us away as our fifth event this year at Elite League circuit Arena Essex has now Sold-Out !

We are also very pleased to announce two new dates that have been confirmed this week, we will now be holding events at Mildenhall on Saturday 20th July and at Plymouth on Saturday 21st September. We would like to thank Chris Louis and Ashley Taylor respectively for all of their help in organising theses dates for us, it is very much appreciated and both of these venues proved very popular last season even though we unfortunately lost the Mildenhall event to the weather, despite Michael Lee's very best efforts to 'un-waterlog' the circuit for us. With a July date this year we very much hope to achieve what we were unable to last year. Bookings are now being taken so see our website for details or contact us on 01438 355009 or 07976 424145, thank you.

You can book to join us by contacting either Russell Paine 07976 424145 or Gerald Richter 07973 839056. We are also very excited to announce that on the evening of the Training Schools (May 17, June 14, July 19, August 16 & Sept 13) we will be hosting an Amateur Series of meetings. These events will be for Development League standard riders and will give them an opportunity to put themselves in the shop window for a National League place. It is also open to those riders who don't have an eye on a team place anywhere but would just like to compete with others at that level. Points will be carried forward from each event with the overall winner securing a lucrative prize. The evening events will be run in a professional manner, with qualifying heats and finals for all of those taking part and admission for spectators on the evening will be just £5, for anything up to thirty, yes, thirty heats of racing. To book your place in the series or on an event-by-event basis please contact Russ or Gerald on the above numbers, entry fee for this event is just £35 per meeting with a 7.45pm start. The Promotion of the Lakeside Hammers believe that the Training Schools and Amateur meetings along with the newly opened Hagon Shocks Academy and Ride n Slide Dayz gives the Club the best opportunity for almost anyone to not only experience the thrill of riding speedway but also the opportunity to progress from taking that first step, to who knows, maybe one day racing for the Club itself.

Our originally planned event at the Norfolk Arena, King's Lynn for Sunday 14th April has been moved to Sunday May 5th due to circumstances beyond our control, so our next event will be a Practice/Traing Day at The Old Gun Site, Sittingbourne on Sunday April 28th. This will be our last Practice of the year before we begin our competitive events at King's Lynn on the may date above. All bookings must be made to Julie Tutton on 01633 858899 / 07920 002785 All of our events are open to memebrs and non-members alike as day membership can be arranged on the day. So why not get the season of to a flying start with one of the most forward thinking Amateur speedway Clubs in the UK. Russ

Following the Sell-Out Events at Arena Essex last Friday and Coventry & Leicester in May and June respectively, we are now adding two further Sold-Out events to that list. Our Experience Days at Leicester on Sunday April 21st and Coventry on Friday August 2nd are now fully subscribed. Our apologies to you if you were looking to join us on either of those dates but we have to allocate the twenty places on a first come, first served basis, with the spaces being secured with just a £45 deposit. We still have limited availability at our Arena Essex events of Friday May 10th and Friday July 12th along with our Ladies Only Day on Friday 23rd August. We are still awaiting notification of availability from Mildenhall, Plymouth and two further tracks that we will be visiting for the first time this year. Any news on these events will be posted on here as soon as we have confirmed them. Until then, thank you for your interest. Russ Paine

John, we have had it confirmed that: Sunday April 28th is a Dragons Practice and Sunday June 30th is a Dragons Meeting. Cheers, Russ

Hi there, thanks for your posting. We take a maximum of twenty riders at any of our events except Plymouth where we have to limit the number to fifteen as we only have three hours track time there and not four as we usually have. The '2012' is part of my name on here unfortunately ;o/

After a 2012 of Practice/Training disappointment due to the weather, the Club kicked off it's 2013 campaign with a fantastic days riding at the superbly prepared Norfolk Arena on Sunday. An impressive turn out when considering what was going on elsewhere around the country all succeeded in blowing away the cobwebs, while King's Lynn Young Stars, Shane Hazleden, Lewis Rose and Shane Waldron looked well and truly up to speed and raring to get stuck into the new season. Teenage sensation Robert Lambert was absolutely flying and will most definitely be one to watch out for wherever he decides to ply his trade once he turns fifteen while another youngster that caught the eye was Ollie Weldrick, who started shakily but grew in confidence steadily throughout the session before turning in some very quick and stylish laps towards the end of the day, keep an eye out for this young whippa-snappa !! We must say a huge thanks to Buster Chapman and Mick Daw who between them produced an awesome track for us considering that the previous night it had seen fifteen Stock Car races take place on it !!!! Absolutely top job, much appreciated ;o) So now we turn our attentions to our history making first event at the Arena Essex Raceway on THURSDAY 21st March. We would like to convey our gratitude to Jon Cook and Gerald Richter who have been nothing less than fantastic in their support of what we do and are looking forward to hosting our next event. Spaces are still available if you wish to join us and take on one of the most technical circuits in the country, just contact Julie Tutton on 01633 858899 or 07920 002785 to reserve your place. See you there, Russ

We have been blown away by the response to our events planned so far this saeason with three of them already fully subscribed, these are: ARENA ESSEX - Friday 22nd March COVENTRY - Friday 31st May and LEICESTER - Sunday 23rd June. We are still awaiting confirmation of availability for our events at both Mildenhall and Plymouth and very much hope to have some news regarding a couple of new venues for RnS Dayz. Thank you for your interest, Russ

Wow, it's not often i'm speechless, all I can say is a massive thanks to you both for those amazing testimonials, I think it also has a lot to do with the amount of effort both of you put in on the days you rode with us that made it all work so well. When you enjoy and are passionate about what you do, as the the Ride n Slide team are, it makes a great recipe for some cracking days ! Thanks again guys. Just a quick update to the above fixtures: Original date of Wednesday 24th April has been moved Sunday 21st April and our second Leicester date is now Sold-Out. Both of the above have been updated via edit.

Hi Robert, sent you a PM. Interested in quite a bit of your stuff for sale, you can get me on 07976 424145 or info@speedwayridenslidedayz.com Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Russ

I have been asked to add that following on from the superb Training Days run by George and Linda Barclay last season, once again there is no necessity to have the new type regulation silencers for this practice session. So please don't be put off coming due to this, come along and get the Dragons Experience !!! ;o) Russ

Ride 'n' Slide Dayz are pleased to announce their first draft of events for the season, which are as follows: Saturday 9th March @ King's Lynn Friday 22nd March @ Arena Essex - THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD-OUT Now - Sunday 21st April @ Leicester Friday 10th May @ Arena Essex Friday 31st May @ Coventry Sunday 23rd June @ Leicester - THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD-OUT Friday 12th July @ Arena Essex Friday 2nd August @ Coventry Friday 23rd August @ Arena Essex * This event is our Ladies Only Event Sunday 10th November @ King's Lynn We are currently awaiting news of availability for both Mildenhall & Plymouth and hope to be able to release these dates very soon. We also hope to have details of a really exciting new venue that we will be holding a Ride n Slide Day at, which again, we very much hope to confirm soon. With a full years experience under our belts we feel that we offer a fantastic opportunity for existing fans and speedway newbies alike to get a taste of one of the most extreme forms of motorcycle sport. At our press launch in mid 2011 all of the journalists from various bike magazines that took part all commented on how difficult they found it when "the guys on the tv make it look so easy !" it has also given existing fans a real insight into just what it takes to get out there and mix it up on a regular basis. So if you fancy giving it a go, why would you not want to do it on some of the very best tracks in the UK ??? If you are interested then you can contact us via email on info@speedwayridenslidedayz.com or call me, Russell Paine on 07976 424145 So whether you just want to fulfil a lifelong ambition or use it as a testing exercise to see if you want to invest in your own equipment (as now four of our attendees have) that is exactly what we are here for.

It could have been a lot better had it not been for illness and 15 hour working days truck driving but that's life. Good to see and chat with you yesterday at the Celebration of Speedway, shame you won't be joining us at Lynn on the 3rd, we always have absolutely cracking Practice/Training Sessions their, it's a brilliant track to work on and improve your riding skills.

Having attended last year as a spectator we were over the moon at being able to participate this year. Our Ride n Slide Dayz stand was busy all day and even had visits from several people that had the RnS Dayz experience with us last year, all looking forward to joining us again this season. We were blown away by the interest and have to say a massive thanks to Elaine and Mac for all their help, they do an amazing job keeping the museum going and thoroughly deserve some recognition. Considering the old saying of "no publicity is bad publicity" you would certainly think that it's a great opportunity for Clubs to get themselves 'out there' and build some relationships with their public and maybe pick up some new fans along the way !

Dragons Amateur Speedway Club are pleased to announce an additional date to their schedule for a Practice/Training Session. This will take place at the Arena Essex Raceway, Thurrock, home of the Lakeside Hammers on Thursday 21st March, with track time from 11am to 4pm.

Don't miss this fantastic opportunity, contact Julie Tutton on 01633 858899/07920 002785 to reserve your place.

Just a reminder that Dragons Amateur Speedway Club will be opening their season at the Norfolk Arena, King's Lynn with a Practice/Training Day on Sunday March 3rd. This is a great opportunity to blow away the cobwebs and get dialled in for the new season on one of the best racing circuits in the country. As always, the Clubs Training Instructors will be on hand to give you any advice you need on track while pitside staff will be able to help you sort those early season bike gremlins. The event is filling up fast so if you want to join us for this session then contact Julie Tutton on 01633 858899 or 07920 002785 to reserve your place.
