With our Sport having undergone a major re-hash for 2026 I'd normally think about replacing the banner photo, but considering it features an image of the late and much admired Steve Harris, R.I.P. it will remain here for the rest of the 2026 season as a mark of our respect for the man and his achievements.

Tragically another blow has been struck early season with the very sad news that my good friend, and surely everyone's who knew him, Mick Aris the Wednesfield legend, has sadly passed away. I'll do my best to find a suitable photo tribute to accompany the above.

Fred Rothwell has released the following information for the 2026 season:-

Just a confirmation of the date change for what was to be round 3 of the 2026 Eurovet series....
We had fixtured round 3 for East Newport on Saturday 13th June, this has now been rearranged for Saturday 3rd October, where it will now be our final round.
As most people are aware this movement made to accommodate the Steve Harris memorial event at Astley on Saturday 13th June.
Please do not travel to East Newport on Sat.June 13th.
The next Eurovet event (round 3) will be at Hethersett on Saturday 18th July, where we will be part of Hethersetts 75th anniversary celebrations, please put this date in your diaries.......looking for a good turn out to support both the Hethersett club and the Eurovet/Orchid brand.

Sat. 9th May: (Rd.1) Filton
Sun.31st May (Rd.2) Bury
Sat. 18th July (Rd.3) Hethersett
Sat. 8th Aug. (Rd.4) Leicester
Sat. 19th.Sept. (Rd.5) East London
Sat 3rd October (Rd 6) East Newport
Five rounds from six to count.

Keeping to the same fees would be £20 for the series or £5 per round.
Anyone rocking up on the day and not on the Federation list for insurance (not a club member),their £5 fee will go to the  new CS Federation to comply with our public liability insurance requirements.

*IMPORTANT* To 2026 hosting clubs

Winners' awards for the 2026 Grand Prix Series will be provided by our Euro-Vets main man, Fred Rothwell and winners' jerseys courtesy of  Jason Ashford.

Calling all mature racers - let's see you all here!

Welcome to the Euro-Vets web site, we hope it has become the definitive guide to charitable Short Track Racing for the Mature Racer. For new middle aged (!) riders just coming into the Sport, this is the best introduction you could get. See our minimal rules and requirements further down this page.

Once again kudos to Fred Rothwell who continues to deliver the goods and enable the whole thing for all of us to enjoy. Fred doesn’t work in solitary though, he has the ever-willing Norman Venson and Geoff Gamage to back him up when required and they do a great job in support.

More thanks are due to the clubs who put us on their fixture list, their hard working secretaries and ground crews and anyone who chipped in along the way.
