When I was a kid my mates Dad used to take us to the old Belle Vue Aces Speedway stadium on Hyde Road. The memories of those days never left me.
The noise of the Jawa's racing around the oval track spraying shale behind them and the distinctive smell of methanol, all added up for an exciting night for a young lad.
Tonight I was going to take my son for the first time ever.
I've been stoking him up all weekend...he's been really looking forward to it, me too.
Then today darker memories of those speedway nights came flooding back...it fuc
king rained all day!!!
The meetings off...GUTTED.
