When was the last time Odsal staged a full capacity sporting event. I guess that if it doesn't have one now, it'll have to have one soon with the stox starting up and the Bulls planning to return mid year.

screm Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 If speedway is to return to Odsal then I don't see as a track to be used occasionly for the bigger meeting, be it BSPA or FIM meetings. We already have the NSS for that, so that will leave a return for league racing where I honestly dont see enough support for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advantage it has is its big capacity, maybe I’m being nostalgic but having big meetings back there would be pretty awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noaksey Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Isn't there some regulation about how far structures need to be from the fence? What is the situation with the hospitality building there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the minimum distance required but will need some big pads on the supports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they will be using heavy heavy duty cable for the cars? If a car goes into a support, it could surely bring the lot down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will still need padding for speedway that's for sure don't know about cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foamfence Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 No problem for Stockcars but I thought there had to be a space behind the fence for Speedway, that looks like a death trap to me, where it goes right up to the hospitality lounge.

Bagpuss Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Maybe it’s the camera angle but the third/fourth bends look much narrower than I expected, has the hospitality building encroached onto the old circuit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think anyone will be brave enough to start speedway up at Bradford?

Sticking point is the landlords estimation of the value he requires per meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is considered a new track, then there should be a 2 metre safety gap between the fence and the spectators i believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
