LADY LUCK AND GARY MOODY
By: Duncan Luke
Another good crowd was on hand for this week’s event but to some extent the on track action was affected by track conditions which deteriorated as the night wore on. For some reason the pre-meeting watering had not penetrated as deeply as it normally does and as the damp [...]

HITTING THE BIG FIVE-O.
By: Duncan Luke
Another week with heavy rain leaving parts of the track flooded on Friday morning but once again hard work brought it up to shape by race time. At least this week there was no threat of rain in the evening so there was a good crowd on [...]

WHAT’S IN A NAME
By: Duncan Luke
Quite a bit, when week after week you see a mythical person given credit for your performances because the person writing up the reports doesn’t know how to spell your name. Even winning his class last week didn’t solve the problem. So apologies go to Josh Caughell, until now aka [...]

BACK IN ACTION
By:Duncan Luke
With the rain staying away this week things were back to normal for the usual crowd pleasing Friday night race program.
With a double header for them this weekend at Leamington and Wheatley most of the top flat-trackers were absent and Ryan Rainville was clearly the best of those who did take part. [...]

Written By: Duncan Luke
To the public the stars of the show are the riders and deservedly so as they provide all the action and excitement that draws them to the track each week. However the meetings could not go ahead without the hard work of the many volunteers who do the grunt work [...]

THE BEAT GOES ON
Written By: Duncan Luke
Five weeks into the season and the show continues to grow. Encouragingly this time the extra heats were needed to accommodate an influx of youngsters to the program. Happily there were no spectacular falls this time around although there were the usual minor spills and thrills that come from [...]

WHY SAFETY EQUIPMENT MATTERS
By: Duncan Luke
Week four of the season and the show keeps getting bigger with a grand total of 42 heats run in this week’s program. Plenty of entertainment in them but the talking point for most fans would be the spectacular crash in the speedway final which saw Jeff Orosz clip the [...]

THINGS JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER
By: Duncan Luke
Week three of the season and it’s been the best night yet. For the first time this year the weather played its part and helped to bring out easily the biggest crowd so far and they certainly got their money’s worth. Another excellent rider turnout meant that a total [...]

EXCELLENT TURNOUT - BAD WEATHER
By:Duncan Luke
That just about sums up week two of the race season at Paris. A much larger rider turnout, particularly in the speedway and flat-track classes, meant more races to be fitted into the program so right from the start of the night the race was on to see if [...]

PARIS RACE SEASON UNDERWAY
by: Duncan Luke
The first meeting of the year is always one that is prone to problems as both riders and organizers get back into the swing of things. This year despite a new promoter, additional classes added to the program, new arrangements in the pits and other changes, things went remarkably [...]

Generally we deal one on one with each sponsor to get a sense of where they’d like to see their contributions go. Not only a receipt [...]

We’d like to welcome the Flattrack class at Paris this year. It’s geared to the riders to have a fun night out and get some extra track time. The class is generally for flattrack bikes, however we do allow a traditional 450 mx bike, but it must not have knobby tires. There’s a Beginner class [...]
