Taylah's Speedway success

Speedway is a sport where you race on dirt and you are in a car that has a roll cage in it. You also wear a helmet, fireproof gear and neck brace. There are different types of cars you can race. I race a Datsun Sunny. I have only just started racing this season, and have been driving in my paddock since I was 8 or 9 years old with my two older brothers and my parents.
