Post by: Monarchjock on Friday, 07 September 2018, 02:59 AM
Some of you on here might think that speedway is just first out the gate wins. Well watch this.The match is Belle Vue Aces v Somerset Rebels.For you downsiders there are 3 Aussies taking part, Jason Doyle (the current World Champion),Max Fricke and Jack Holder.

Found it on utube. Great race alright. Ballsy ride around the outside.

I love the Speedway, cars or bikes, used to be involved in crewing for a mate but with cars.
