Broadslide – got yours?

Relive the sounds, sights and smells of the golden age of British speedway as CDB’S editor Tim Britton takes you on a trip through time. From 1928 to 1980 the speedway era grew and evolved but the thrills and spills on the track continued to fascinate racegoers through the decades.

Broadslide takes its name from the way riders cornered their single-speed, brakeless machines. Not previously a speedway fan, Tim’s new-found respect for the sport shines through in this 132page publication, in which he raids the archives to reveal long-forgotten images of prewar speedway pioneers; harks back to the days of legendary riders such as Barry ‘Briggo’ Briggs, Ole Olsen and Ivan Mauger; and recounts the thoughts and memories of those who shaped the scene.
