OK, they’re using Saabs so we’re gonna have to deduct a couple of kudos points, but the Performance Team’s display at Spa is well worth a watch.

Word has reached UKA Towers that Shakespeare County Raceway is holding the “Yanks American Weekend” on 2 & 3 June 2007. Nothing else offers an exhilarating shot of adrenalin quite like drag racing - when we first learned the fastest, loudest sport on the planet was to be made with pure American beef, it’s no lie to say we damn near fell off our rocking chairs.

Fans of American cars can look forward to a two-day party, that’s for sure. And if the thought of American muscle tearing up the strip wasn’t enough, there are rumours Shakey will be providing some additional excitement. We will await confirmation before posting anything, but for now let’s just say one such event may see Gary bringing a Picnic.

More information will follow when we get it.

David Beckham’s current football club, Spanish giants Real Madrid, have confirmed that their English midfielder is to leave Spain at the end of the season to join Major League Soccer (MLS) team LA Galaxy.

The Californian team missed out on the play-offs this year, and are looking to strengthen their squad for next season. It is said that Beckham will be signing on for five years, his services weighing in at $250 million (£128 million).

LA Galaxy often play to crowds of around 20,000, which is considerably less than Beckham is used to in Europe. However, at almost $1.5 million per game, it would appear there is nothing second division about the terms.

LA Galaxy are managed by ex Ipswich Town player Frank Yallop, and make their home at 27,000 seater stadium The Home Depot Center, within the grounds of California State University.
