  • The Fans' Favourites
    INTRODUCTION Welcome to this FREE speedway e-book, the first of its kind as far as we're aware. This book collates the memories and impressions of riders that we've received for our 'Dream Team' feature on the Speedway Plus website. This book runs from Adams to Zetterstrom giving the supporters' opinions on many riders from the past and present. The comments were made between 2000 and 2007, therefore if you find a comment suggesting that a 27 year old Premier League second string is a stick-on to be World Champion, it's likely to be one of the older contributions. This book differs from any other as it's written entirely by a cross section of supporters, from virtually every track in the land and with varying experiences of speedway. If a rider isn't listed, it's because nobody has chosen them as one of their seven favourite all time riders. Similarly if a little known rider has been included, it's because they've made sufficient impression on someone to be nominated. A definite case of democracy in action. Clearly, given that the comments were all written in this present century, the majority of the riders are from the British League era (1965 onwards). However, there are a number of vintage favourites in there also. If you want your own personal favourites to feature in any subsequent editions then fill in our 'Dream Team' submission form on the website. We hope you enjoy the book.

  • Canberra Bulls Speedway Club Strategic Plan 2013-2016
    Canberra Bulls Speedway Club ___________________________________________________________________ Strategic Plan 2013-2016 Bringing Motor Cycle Speedway back to Canberra December 2011 Contents . Introduction . Background . Vision . Goals and Objectives . Values and Commitment . Stakeholders . Strategic Priorities • Growing our Sport • Developing our Business . Review Mechanisms . Supporting Plans . Strategic Framework Introduction The origins of Motorcycle Speedway are debated, but what is in no doubt is that the formats developed by Australian promoters in the late 1920s led directly to the development of the sport in Britain, and then in Europe and north America. Australians have always been prominent at the very top of the sport, and in recent years have held every junior, senior and teams world championship. The original Canberra Bulls emerged in the early 1980s, with the aim of providing opportunities for local riders and entertainment for the local community. Quoting a recent letter from Formula One racing driver Mark Webber, “I have many fond memories of growing up in Queanbeyan and heading to Tralee Stadium during the speedway season, and watching the fantastic racing of the Canberra Bulls. The Bulls certainly were an important part of Canberra's motorsports scene”. “Learning motor sports as a kid has afforded me huge opportunities in life and I have been fortunate enough, like (Aussie World Speedway Champion) Jason (Crump) himself, to be able to enjoy a successful career within the sport”. He continues “From memory, some of the original Canberra Bulls went on to forge careers in professional speedway, and it would be extremely positive if the work you are doing helps provide similar opportunities for kids of the district in future.
