1996 Speedway Pictures from California

Photos from Gary Roberts were taken during the Press Day prior to the 1996 USA Speedway National Championship. Photographed by John Edwards, professional speedway rider! John is 60 years old and has been competing in the Santa Maria races, quite successfully, too. He used to ride for Cradley Heath, then Wimbledon. A drinker, a smoker and all round good bloke.
