'Flat track' (not speed racing) is the American style of speedway, this was more popular in Britain back in the 70's. The European & UK championships were held earlier this year in Tairgwaith and riders from Germany, Holland, Italy, America & of course the UK all took part.
Marco Belli gave the Italian Zaeta machine it's first win on English soil, by winning Round 3 of the Pozzani Silkolene Shorttrack Championship. Three times Champion Marco said 'This is one of the best wins I've ever had, the final wash as tough as it gets. The 1/2 mile lime stone track was so demanding and the best riders in Europe were all in the Final. I'm so happy!'
On the last lap Monti tried making a move on Belli and ran wide, leaving room for Collins to slip past but it was Marco who crossed the line on the back wheel for first place, from Collins and Monti holding on to last podium spot.

Grand Final Result
1st 6 Marco Belli ...................... 530 Zaeta
2nd 90 Aidan Collins ....................450 HM Plant Honda
3rd 5 Jacopo Monti ...................450 Honda
In America there are a few successful girl racers, although Hannah is not a girl racer, we think she certainly looks the part..........
