Speedway...

Picture
SPEEDWAY BIKES have no brakes, just one gear, a clutch and 500cc engines which can accelerate to 60 mph in around 3 seconds - that's faster than a Formula 1 car! They race around oval circuits of around 300 metres in length in an anti-clockwise direction. To get around the tight corners at high speed the riders actually have to accelerate to throw the rear wheel out and allow the bike to "slide" round the bend
UK League speedway sees 2 teams racing against each other. The 2 teams have 7 riders each and they race over 15 heats with 2 riders from each team in each heat. If a rider wins a race he earns his team 3 points, if he comes second then it's 2 points, 3rd and he'll only earn 1 point and if he comes last or doesn't finish the race he gets nothing!
