Not sure what your work schedule may be, but will post a link to a live Elite League Speedway race from England on here tomorrow. Starts at 1:30 or 2:30 in the afternoon your time.

You guys would love it. The open nationals in late august is a good time to check it out. 0-70 in 3 seconds and a race lasts about 48 seconds. nonwinged and speedway, my two loves. Each is the most basic of race vehicles. By the way, the no brakes sounds scary, but I've never not once thought to my self dang I wish I had brakes. You steer them with the throttle and the harder you go the better they go. To avoid something you either blast around it, or lay the bike down. Some tracks before you can race you have to go out and show the promoter you can safely lay the bike down on the straight away while going race speed. They stop real quick

I just wanted to say that last night was the first time I've been to a regular show at Kokomo and I was pretty impressed. The track was great and they did a good job keeping the program moving along quickly. I live an hour and 45 minutes away and I was home at 11:00. And you can't beat $12 to get in. I'll definitely be attending more regular shows there.
