I used to compile posts like this all the time, but then instagram stole their thunder, but let's try again, now that Instagram is losing it's shine. I attended a practice day at Greenfield today.

We were supposed to be racing a two-day meeting at Redcar, but the track owners double-booked the date and the local speedway team took precedent.
