    Michael Pickens does it again. He won the Campion of Champions 30 lap race at Parramatta Speedway on Friday Night then was a convincing winner of the 50 lap classic on Saturday night taking the lead 15 laps into the race from starting grid 18 and from there on it was all over Rover.

    The Auckland regional councils paid 2.2 million dollars to Arpass headed by Colin Dale to come up with the idea that Speedway is not a good option for Western Springs. What do you think????
