More than 500 revved-up visitors got in gear to celebrate the latest annual speedway day at Coatbridge's Summerlee heritage museum.
The weather was kind to organisers and guests, with a warm reception given to everyone.
Visitors were treated to a vintage display of bikes, including Weslakes and Godden models, as well as archive photos showcasing the area's speedway history.
Delighted event organiser John Houston told Lanarkshire Live: "There was a good selection of bikes, such as Weslakes, Godden, Japs and uprights.
"We also had photos, programmes, badges and memorabilia on show, while DVDs were broadcast outside in the gazebo.
"It was great to see Brian Collins, Bobby Beaton and Jim Beaton - three Tigers from 73-77.
"I would like to thank Brian Collins, Alex Weir, James Culbert, William Richardson and the Blackwood family for showing their bikes, as well as Stuart Coleman who brought speedway gear.
"My appreciation also goes to David MacDonald and the staff at Summerlee, and everyone who came along, for making it such a successful day."
