Something to watch in the Off-Season - the American Flat Track 2018 Series on NBC Sports Network, now on YouTube Round 2 at Dixie Speedway, Woodstock, near Atlanta, Georgia

Meeting at Leicester was rained-off and there seems to be no chance of a re-staging so late in the year. Anyone know now who is the British Sidecar Speedway champion of 2018?

Don't think so. Since SGP practise isn't compulsory anymore, the riders will go where the money is, and that is Polish League meetings.

Just like the Hammers have moved from Lakeside to Rye House, maybe the Robins will have to move from Swindon to Oxford one day ?

I can't understand why You need doubling-up of riders. There are loads of Young Aussies waiting to come over, who would be happy fill the teams.

Interesting that Harley-Davidson has taken steps to introduce flat-track motorycle racing to India. We have heard from Armando Casatgna this year that there is some interest to take Speedway racing there, too. https://www.drivespark.com/two-wheelers/2018/flat-track-racing-in-india-harley-davidson-brings-new-motorsport-to-india-025375.html

Great News ! I have just read that there will be an AUSTRALIA vs Rest of the WORLD speedway test match series in November/Dezember of 2018.
