Dirt trackers jump to it at Norfolk Arena!
One of the longest-running internationally, but most rarely seen in the UK, motorcycling disciplines makes its annual much-anticipated return to King’s Lynn’s Norfolk Arena this Sunday (22 August 2010).
Track and Trail not only uses that set of initials so famous in the motorcycling world, but actually this form of ‘TT’ racing has been a staple of the dirt track racing scene in the USA since the 1930s. Here it’s part of the hugely popular and fast-growing Short Track UK series – a series which has adopted the Saddlebow circuit as its spiritual home since the first meeting held there back in 2005.
The format sees the familiar Speedway circuit (home to the Premier League Stars side) converted so that after twice a lap, riders mounted on a variety of flattracking and adapted Super Moto machines, will turn onto the in-field area, traverse a jump and a right turn to re-enter the track. With 12 riders a race in races up to 12 laps in duration, the event is rightly known as dirt track motorcycling’s version of the steeplechase.............

ACU license holders and motorcycle race fans are being urged to sign a petition to allow roads to be closed for sporting events without needing an Act of Parliament - a requirement that is holding back motorsport in England, Wales and Scotland.
The UK is losing out both in sporting and economic terms as a direct result of the law that requires an Act of Parliament to suspend the Road Traffic Act on a stretch of the public highway. Throughout Europe (and also in Northern Ireland and the Isle of....

Australian champion Chris Holder won his first ever World Championship round after scrapping his way through a fiery FIM British Speedway Grand Prix in Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium.
The 22-year-old defeated world champion Jason Crump, new series leader Jaroslaw Hampel and Danish hotshot Hans Andersen after powering away from the tapes in the final.
The Poole, Torun and Lejonen star admits he was taken aback by a raucous, record-breaking 44,150 crowd, but showed no sign of nerves on his first appearance in the Welsh capital.
While Holder surged up to fifth in the World Championship with 60 points, Hampel took charge at the top on 92 – two ahead of his fellow countryman Tomasz Gollob. The 39-year-old has been notorious for struggling in the Millennium Stadium over the past decade, but produced a blinding display to top the heat scorechart with 12 points from a possible 15.
Disaster struck in his semi-final, though, when he thundered away from the tapes, only for him to suffer an ignition failure on turn two.
Meanwhile, it was a tough night for the Brits as Chris Harris and Tai Woffinden both missed out on the top eight with six points. Wild card Scott Nicholls bagged four on his return to the World Championship.

Vince Kinchin RIP
Vince died pursuing a sport he loved and had participated in for many years. He was a true Grass Track racer who dedicated the majority his life to Track Racing.
Indeed you would find him one week competing at an international event in Germany, the following week a British Championship event in England and the following week a club event in his local Centre. Vince had competed at the top level of Grass Track for over twenty years.
Messages of condolences have been received from around the world. He will be sadly missed by fellow competitors and spectators alike. But his spirit lives through his young sons.
The ACU Track Racing Committee passes its condolences on the Vince’s wife and family.
