Fryup Burglars were a short-lived motorcycle speedway team who were established in 1996 and won the National Alliance and KO Cup in their inaugural season. The team collapsed on the cusp of their debut in the National League following the death of star rider Shawn Sprule, who was shot dead by team owner Dirk Thorsby on suspicion of an affair with his Polish wife Roxana, who was also killed. Thorsby was sentenced to life in prison for the murders. The Fryup Raceway remained derelict for a number of years but subsequently reopened for stock car racing as the Kwik Save Oval.
