Over the last ten years, we have introduced many customers and their family to the sport for the first time and it is great that they not only enjoy the evening but want to come back again and again.” This thrill a minute sport involves 15 heats with 4 riders in each heat racing around a shale track of approx 300 metres for four laps on 500cc motorcyles that have no brakes on them and accelerate from 0 – 60mph in two and a half seconds. www.sportip.biz 15
