"I started off racing Speedway Solo at 15, Hitting the fence was a real fear, You could be killed instantly, or be in Hospital for years, with the very real possibility of never walking again. Precautions there, Dont hit the Wall"

Glad to see other sailors here from the dirt track oval! I raced Flat Track and Speedway here in
Canada in the 80's and 90's. Mr. B had CONCRETE walls on the Australian tracks! At least our
Canada tracks had thin
plywood, so they would just slow you down as you went through the wall! The BEST fences was when I raced in
Sweden, they had cushioned walls.
Track bikes:
Honda CR125, CR250, 450, JAP, JAWA Speedway!
