Marksman Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 It says in the Speedway Star that ambitous plans are in place, and the intention is to stage National Dev. League racing there in 2022.. NDL will be expanding in 2022 to include more teams it says, Oxford are going to be 1 of them, running alongside the Championship. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards THJ Ha, ha, wish I had something handy stashed under my bed for sure........gonna have a run through soon to Worky (from Whitey) to have a look at Northside.... hoping it does eventually revive the Comets. What concerns me is that Comet fans had a great stadium to view the sport and a spartan(ish) venue might be spurned very quickly? Just a negative thought. Best regards to you THJ.......miss reading your forum words of wisdom during the close season...roll on March then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the old track still there? The straights are now mainly grassed over to thereby widen the rugby pitch.......the bends still in same shape, minus the shale which is now dumped at Northside ready to cover new track.

Popular Post Neila Posted November 14, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Had a walk down to Northside today, plenty of activity from around a dozen volunteer's, the base is in and looks well packed down, plenty of camber on both bends and also on straights, inside curb being laid, about 2/3 done, shale ex Derwent park being sorted to be laid in the next few weeks, changing rooms and pits to be marked out and built, so still lots to do and winter weather on its way !! Good luck to the people behind the venture, 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a totally new track in the area where the old training track was, but the bank's around the site have been taken out to extend the site, track size around 280-300 meters I'm led to believe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
