Photos from Billy Canary

I started riding Division 3 in 1992 for Ed Rose (Rose Racing) and won quite a few races. I was moved to Division 2 by the mid 1992 season and had a great deal of success in Division 2 as well. Early in the my 2nd season (1993) I was moved into Division 1 and continued in Division 1 until 1996 which was my last season of speedway. My career was just too demanding so I was forced to hang up the steel shoe with much regret. I loved racing speedway and wish that I would have been able continue. I have always wondered how well I could have done if I would have been able continue.
