Around 15 years ago author Jeff Scott set himself the challenge of visiting every single speedway track in the UK through one season travelling over 10,000 miles and taking in over 1000 heats and documented the tale in his book Showered in Shale.

 

Since then he’s made a similar journey following the Speedway GP across europe, again documenting his trips in the book Hitchhikers Guide To The Speedway GP, as well as many other books looking at the history and people in speedway.
