ALL roads lead to Paradise Wildlife Park in Broxbourne on Sunday, February 19 - the date all speedway connoisseurs should make a note of in their diary.

No, there won't be any racing, but there will be bikes - from vintage Douglas’ to two-valve Jawas, JAPs to GMS - being ‘warmed up’ during what is always a nostalgic event at PWP, which is once again the popular venue for the annual Celebration of Speedway.

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.

You can also view a nine-minute trailer for this DVD by going to the Retro TV section of this site.

CHRIS MORTON, one of the most spectacular riders of his generation, is the subject of the latest DVD from Retro Speedway.

MORT, featuring superb action footage of the Belle Vue and England legend, is set for release at the start of November 2011.
