SPEEDWAY is the fastest, most exciting, thrill-a-second motor sport there is.
And Peterborough's East of England Showground is universally acknowledged as one of the top racing tracks in Britain - a regular venue for World Championship events, including World Finals.
It is also the home of the Peterborough Readypower Panthers, one of the top teams in the Elite League, where all of the world's top stars race throughout the summer months.
Riders race specially-built brakeless motorcycles and fans never miss a second's action as all the racing takes place on a 336 metre shale track around the main arena within the Showground at Alwalton.
The 2,200-seat grandstand provides the perfect vantage point but there are also pleasant grass banks where you can sit and watch the all-out action.
Races last around a minute from tapes to chequered flag and with four riders in every heat there can be a heart-stopping moment every second!
Peterborough is one of seven clubs in the Premiership where the target is to make it into the top four, booking a place in the dramatic end-of-season play-offs which decide each year's league champions.
