RIDER safety can never be guaranteed in a sport as dangerous as speedway but there are always improvements that can be made – and in this week’s issue, former riders Gary Havelock and Paul Hurry urge the authorities to do more to improve standards. Speedway Control Bureau member Hurry tells us: “Many of the accidents are caused by inexperienced riders but we can look at what is behind the air fences, how they are anchored, track surfaces, track drainage, water systems. A lot of the time the tracks are patchy as hell; people say the best water system is natural rain but, in this day and age, is the way tracks are watered the way they should be watered? There are always going to be accidents – speedway is a motorsport – but you have to do everything you can to improve safety for the riders. We have to look at everything, we have to be proactive rather than reactive.”
