Shadders Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm looking for any photo's of the Hastings track. Reading through Norbold's book "Speedway in The South East", it mentions the track was still in place in 1975, so there may be some photo's knocking about. Any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chippy01 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 What a strange looking track. Can't tell which is the bend and which is the straight. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This link shows the track NOW in Google Earth, with a little imagination the full circuit can be envisaged. http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php/Ca.../page/0#1103550 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 That's exactly the kind of pictures I'm looking for..thanks What an odd shaped track that must have been!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 It was even worse when it first opened as originally there was a small kink in the track opposite the pits making almost a fifth bend. But even when this was straightened out the fact that it was almost rectangular made it quite a dangerous track to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
