HACKNEY is the latest old club to feature in our new series of popular defunct track DVDs. Memories of Hackney Speedway will be launched in double-disc format in early June.

As well as thrilling action clips from Waterden Road, it will feature new interviews with many of the East London club's most famous names, including promoter Len Silver and star riders Norman Hunter, Colin Pratt, Bengt Jansson, Barry Thomas, Dave Morton, Zenon Plech and Mark Loram.

A must for those who supported the Hawks, Kestrels or London Lions, or if you just enjoyed a Friday night of thrills as this much-missed East London venue, this DVD is four hours of pure Hackney Heaven!

RETRO Speedway will launch our new History of Canterbury Speedway DVD at the Celebration of Speedway event at Paradise Wildlife Park this Sunday.

The double-disc package is great value at £16, including new and exclusive filmed interviews with former Crusaders stars Graeme Smith, Ted Hubbard, Barney Kennett, Les Rumsey, Denzil Kent and Dave Mullett, plus Kevin Howland and team manager/co-promoter Maurice Morley.

And at the start of March we will be releasing our new West Ham Memories double DVD - also £16 - including new filmed interviews with Norman Hunter, Malcolm Simmons and Bengt Jansson, plus audio interviews with Olle Nygren, Tony Clarke and others.

RETRO SPEEDWAY has entered a new market by publishing the 1982 Speedway Yearbook on CD-ROM. Written and compiled by Richard Waller, this is the definite guide to a memorable season.

Viewable with ease on your home computer or laptop, the 1982 Speedway Yearbook is a mammoth 544-page document, detailing everything that happened in the year Bruce Penhall retained his world title and then retired on the rostrum.

RETRO Speedway is to launch a series of new DVDs reviving memories of sadly defunct British speedway tracks - and we're starting later this month with the RAYLEIGH ROCKETS.

Alongside unique and previously unseen colour footage of racing from The Weir raceway in Essex, we have filmed new interviews with former Rockets favourites, including Dingle Brown, Laurie Etheridge, Terry Stone, Tiger Beech and Graeme Smith.

These riders and more, plus ex-general manager Peter Thorogood, provide a fascinating and nostalgic insight into what life with the Rockets was like in the British League Division Two years from the reopening of Rayleigh in 1968 until the track's closure at the end of 1973.
