Keith White
Keith White, son of Vic White first started riding in 1971 at the Kings Lynn track.

As a contracted rider he had a career that saw him riding at Crewe, Birmingham, Hackney, Leicester, Coventry, Milton Keynes and Long Eaton, bet he is in the scrap books of many a speedway fan; to whom he was known as Chalky.

With regards to his riding career he considers his best achievement qualifying for the Intercontinental Final in 1977, a generous complement to the other riders concerned.

Being selected for the English Lions Tour of Australia in 1977 rates as the most proud moment of his entire speedway career. 

Sadly he lists his worst Memory of his speedway years as the loss of his good friend Craig Featherby in an accident at the Peterborough Speedway track in 1983.

Keith retired from riding after 19 years service to the sport in 1990 and is no longer involved in speedway in any way apart from being a member of the World Speedway Riders Association. We wish him well and thank him for allowing us to publish this profile and for the loan of the photographs.
