Good evening and welcome to tonight's updates from Ipswich. If you've had to drag yourself to watch the Champions League Final then we'll keep you up to date on what's happening at Foxhall Stadium, which tonight features the National Hot Rods in Round 15 of their World Qualifying series with places up for grabs for the big date at the Spedeweekend in July. We also have the Oval Track Legends with their British Championship, and the Bangers 6-a-side teams John Earrey Memorial.
