The Rye House speedway track, right besides the karting circuit that saw F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton grow up, made for the perfect stage to run the UK Shorttrack finals.

Got recently an email from the top UK Shorttrack rider Peter Boast. Thought you'd also like to know what's going on!

Here it is about!

THREE EXCITING MEETINGS COMING UP FOR FLAT TRACK RACING

UK's Flat Track Racing is hotting up for some great mid season action, with three different disciplines of Flat Track, Shorttrack, TT and 1/2 mile action.

On Sunday 17th July, Flat Track racing comes to brand new Stadium at Leicester, which will host Round 4 of the 2011 Pozzani Grand National UK Championship. The Stadium was only completed in April 320 meters Shorttrack with banked corners and 1000 seater grandstands. H.M. Plant Honda rider Aidan Collins, who currently leads the 2011 Championship, will team up with his father Les, who was a legend at Leicester Speedway in the 80's and will also be riding a Honda. Collins will have tough international competition from Aussie Stars Tyson Nelson and Kevin Doolan also Itals Jacopo Monti.

On Saturday evening 30th July, Norfolk Arena will be holding the only TT event in the UK Calendar. In the USA Flat Track racing TT events are run not only left hand bends but right and bends as well and include jumps. We would call that Supermoto over here but the difference is that we still run no front brake, which makes for more action backing it in.

On Saturday evening 6th August, the fastest Flat Track meeting ever seen in the UK will take place. It will be held at the largest Horse Trotting Track in Great Britain, at the Tir Prince International All Stars Flat Track Meeting. With wide open bends, we are anticipating lap times to be close to 100mph! The track is positioned in a busy holiday area near Rhyl, North Wales, so we are expecting a large crowd. There will be Flat Track races from all over the world Competing and  guest riders from other motorcycle disciplines, including the TT and TV star Guy Martin.

Thank you to our Sponsors, Pozzani Water Filters, Silkolene Oils, Celitbero Racing Components, Redmax, Maxxis, Hagon Shocks, Arrow Engineering and Helmets 4u.
