Len Silver: words from Jamie Courtney

A true legend of the sport who had done it all and seen it all!

From rider to promoter, Mr Len Silver was Mr Speedway! Our deepest condolences to his family and friends at this time.

I’m proud to say Len attended Oxford Speedway regularly since our reopening in 2022 where he was able to enjoy his speedway.

His dedication and love for the sport will be a huge loss to all.
