On Friday nights, hundreds of race fans descend on the Oaktree Arena in Somerset to cheer on The Somerset Rebels speedway team, for the last couple of weeks my son & i have been going along.

Speedway is motor sport in it’s rawest form, the bikes are 500cc, have fixed gears, no brakes, run on pure methanol and can accelerate from 0-60 in 3 seconds,

the races feature 4 riders & take place over 4 laps, it’s fast & furious stuff & we love it.
