SCRAMBLES SUNDAY

Crikey, am I 63 already? How did that happen? Anyway, that’s a good enough excuse for a celebration, which in my case nearly always involves going racing. Fortunately the Chester Classic Scramble always falls around or near my birthday, and this year it fell exactly right, Sunday July 2 . Even better, there was a flat-track race on the Saturday too. There was the small fact that they were over 150 miles apart, but why let trifling details spoil an epic plan?

So Friday night we set off to Scunthorpe to camp out ready for the flat-track races in the morning. Scunthorpe Amateur Speedway is a great series of events. They race throughout the year, holding both a summer and winter Championship,
