One of the most evocative images is the meeting programme. Browse through the many and varied colourful covers and the chances are you will be instantly transported back in time, to the days when you collected your programme as you passed through the turnstiles.
Here we have endeavoured to illustrate one programme from each season of a track's operation. We focused initially on the period between Backtrack magazine's general time-frame of 1970-1990 but you will also find front covers from earlier seasons.
We will be adding to this section, introducing World Final covers and other important event programmes as our site continues to evolve, so please visit again soon.
In the meantime, why not select the team of your choice, roll back the years and enjoy!
