With less than 6 weeks until the 2014 edition of Peterborough Speedway’s Autumn Colours Classic, we’ve started asking racers just what keeps them coming back to the iconic event each year.

Late Model winner Amanda Connolly, who will be returning to the ‘Classic’ this season, with hopes of earning her first career Autumn Colours victory. The London Recreational Racing representative chats about the level of competition at the 3-day event, the prestige surrounding the race itself and the atmosphere of one of the biggest races in Canada.
