A ticket was my Xmas present

Can't wait!!!!! I hope I get a ride on the new springs track before they rip it up and chuck that horrible clay back down.

Hasn't been publicised much unfortunately, this event should be huge!

I listen to the Rock and don't watch much TV lol I've just been asking my mates if any of them had seen it advertised.

Should be a great night, smell of ethanol and burning rubber, nothing like Speedway.
Old Reading Racers supporter, Mad Welly, Jan Peterson, Per Jonsson, sadly no longer operating as a club.
Many a night spent down at Reading Raceway.
If you have never been to Speedway, you have no idea what you are missing.

In the 90's we tried to ride on that clay. It worked while it was warm and before there was any water put down. But as soon as the sun dropped below the trees the dampness came back up and there was no way we could ride there w/o looking like twats.

$50 though...a bit expensive I feel

**pete376403** · 16th March 2012, 16:21

$50 a bit expensive? This is a world class event. I was pleasantly surprised to see it at $50, I would have expected twice that (and I would have paid it)

**haydes55** · 16th March 2012, 16:31

These are the worlds best riders, for the first time (that I have heard of) in NZ, millions will be watching this on TV all over the world. $50 is pretty cheap for what you get to see.

On a side note, Western Springs is a huge track in comparison to the tracks in most of Europe so they will be going faster than usual aswell

Any policemanofficer want to bring their radar to see what speeds these boys are getting up too?

You mustn't get out much

We upgraded to the grandstand seating and if we'd known about it back then would have waited for the hospitality seating to become available at $250

$50 for a world championship event is cheap as chips

At $50 I was smiling. They could have charged $75 and got the same crowd.

Unfortunately proper speedway isn't as popular as car speedway in NZ so not sure if the same crowd would turn up at a higher price. Sure most motorcyclists and speedway fans would be gouing for what ever price they charge, but being just $50 has convinced a few of my mates out for a gander.
