Intense revving, the tapes fly up, clutches are
dropped and the dash for turn one is on…. There are many words you could pick
from the dictionary that could describe the first few seconds of every speedway
race…perhaps exciting or even addictive but after 35 years glued to this
wonderful sport there is one word that springs to mind more readily than any
other……….. anticipation !
4 riders bursting into turn one has got to be one of
the most breath holding unpredictable features of any sport anywhere in the
world.
Since my first meeting at the Shay in Halifax during
April of 1972 , and after many thousands of motorway miles, and meetings since
I have finally got round to channelling a life’s passion into something
shareable with fellow Speedway enthusiasts.
Since that very first meeting when I went home with
my prized possession of Eric Boocock’s
goggle tear off, and a shiny new enamel Dukes badge I have collected all manor
of memorabilia. I think my best day was getting Ole
Olsen and Ivan Mauger’s autographs
within about 5 minutes of each other back in 1974 ! ( yes I still remember it vividly ) and its
that which prompted the creation of this shop.
Speedway memorabilia Shop’s aim is to bring together
in one place quality speedway items that will appeal to any speedway fan young
and old alike.
I would warmly welcome any input, suggestions or

Thanks, and best wishes to all
