I have this evening booked a pitch at Pentney Park for Monday 8th June when I will be travelling 140 miles to watch the second round of the Speedway World Cup. This will be an exciting event for me for two reasons.
Taking Tyrion out for a real expedition is something I have been looking forward to for some time. I plan to pop out for a night or two locally between now and then (although there are only 43 days to go) but this will be his first proper planned expedition.
Secondly the arena where the event is taking place is one where I used to go every week to watch the home team, the Kings Lynn Stars. It will be a trip down memory lane just being there again and I plan to stand between bends one and two, just as I did every week twenty six years ago.
As well as revisiting the arena, I will be watching some of the great names in speedway - the same people I have been watching on television and YouTube, in their team events, best pairs matches and grand prix. It promises to be an extremely exciting evening.
