BRITISH SPEEDWAY MEMORIES
LATER this year Retro Speedway will publish a new book called BRITISH SPEEDWAY MEMORIES. As the title suggests, it will be a compilation of special memories as recalled by supporters of our wonderful family sport.
It doesn’t matter which era of speedway’s history you treasure most . . . whether your interest dates back to the post-war boom period or you have only been following the sport for a short while, we all have special moments in time and favourites we like to remember and reflect upon with pleasure. Now let’s share them among each other for our mutual enjoyment.
The idea is that Retro Speedway (publishers of Backtrack and Classic Speedway magazines) are going to record all of your thoughts and memories in one convenient place that will never be far from reach – hence BRITISH SPEEDWAY MEMORIES.
All you have to do to be part of it and ensure your name is included in the book is answer the following 10 simple questions. If not all, then as many as you can.
Firstly, please state YOUR NAME, POSTAL ADDRESS, EMAIL ADDRESS & PHONE NUMBER
(Don’t worry, apart from your name, we will NOT publish your details in the actual book!)
FIRST TIME
Tell us about the first speedway meeting you can remember attending and what led you to go?
TEAMS & TRACKS
Where did/do you watch speedway most regularly?
What was/is your favourite away track to visit, and why?
FAVOURITES
Name your three most favourite (not necessarily the best) riders, and why you have chosen them?
CLASSICS
Of all the meetings you have been to, do you have one memorable classic that stands out from all the rest?
Can you single out one particularly great race that will live longest in your memory?
THEN AND NOW
What do you miss most about speedway in the past?
What, if anything, would you like to see reintroduced to speedway today?
MOMENTS TO TREASURE
What is your favourite memory you take from speedway?
WHY SPEEDWAY IS SPECIAL
Whether you used to attend speedway meeting or still do so today, describe what makes speedway so special to you?
Thank you. Now please email your answers to Tony Mac at editorial@retro-speedway.com
Ideally, please send them to us as soon as possible, but the deadline for responses is August 31st, 2013.
