British Speedway GP at Cardiff 2003

Our love affair with Cardiff continued in 2003.

Once again we arrived in Vardiff early in the morning so that we could spend the day soaking up the atmosphere. We queued up in the Collectors' Fayre to meet with sam Ermolenko and to get a signed copy of his book. As with virtually every other rider we have met, Sam was the perfect gent and was only too happy make a fuss of my two children and a friend.

Our seats on turns 1 and 2 gave us a chance to get down to the pits area during the lead up to the event.

Scottie come across to sign the programme for my daughter Steffie. At the time she was dressed in a Scott Nicholls hat and a Union Jack scarf.

Two dads chat away about their sons. Phil Crump and John Tiger Louis chat prior to the meeting proper.

 


No photo album of speedway should be complete without a picture of Sophie Blake, and here she is.


First bend action during the meeting.

The brilliant firework display after the meeting has become a real crowd pleaser.
