In its early days, Rye House was known as a track where riders could learn their trade under 'Queensberry' rules, but where the rigidity of the rulebook was occasionally sacrificed in the name of an enjoyable day's racing. Although racing has become more serious, it still maintains that air of friendliness and has kept its place as Britain's premier training track. This is the story of the first seventy years of Rye House speedway and the personalities associated with the track, including Len Silver, who was himself a junior discovery at the track over fifty years ago and now owns the stadium and promotes the speedway. His story is recorded here, along with those of Mike Broadbank, Charlie Robinson, Archie Windmill, Tommy Sweetman, Kelvin Mullarkey, Jens Rasmussen, Martin Goodwin and Brent Werner.

From the very early days of Speedway, this is where champions were made. GREAT REACING and a club room that had dances after the Sunday meetings. A great day out.
