Its many years since I've been to the Speedway ... in fact in the 1960's =
in
the UK I nearly got a free drive but emigrated to Australia just in time!=


Notwithstanding Pursey's contention .. I actually have nothing against
tintops - in fact I started my race career in Escorts and still have very=

fond memories.

Back to your comments though - the speedway guys seem to understand
promotion in a way that is competely foreign to vintage race promoters.  =
I
suspect that the main reaosn for this is that speedway doesn't work
financially if they don't get a crowd - whereas in vintage racing we are
paying to race.  We also don't race frequently enough to build up a regul=
ar
race crowd.
