Peterborough will host round 3 on October the 21st. Having just won 2007's best event award, it'll be a welcome return to a great track and club.
Highlights of the new series are new age bands, all categories are open to Cruiser and 20", 16+ 100% payback class, only a tenner to race, trophies for the top 3 in each category at each round and the top 5 after 3 rounds.
