Who was that masked man you say? well it certainly wasn't the Lone Ranger

Take a bow Steve Lawson who has been ably assisted by the main man himself with the brains (and brawn and finance) behind it all Andrew Bain; also Neil "Boozer" Bewley (yes his Dad) Stuart Jenkinson; Paul and Brad Haughin; Old Ted? David Payne one or two others whose names I have forgot (sincere apologies) and of course the legend that is Alan (Unlucky for Some #13) Windbush...

The effort these guys are putting in on weekends at this track is nothing short of heroic... kudos chaps and keep up the good work...

Think Steve Lawson is preparing a GP track never mind a Championship one or dare I say it a one fit to host Premiership meetings on... 

Ooh a cant say that on here can I... oops to late...

Yep looking good and looks like Redcar a little bit.Be nice if they could get a team in the top league to watch as nothing as far as Manchester.Be nice to have a few trips over to Workington again.Keep up the good work.

Any recent developments in the last few weeks? I need to have a wonder down there at some point. The progress has been amazing so far!

Aye some of the fencing has gone in and once its finished I will stick some pretty pictures on here for all to see the latest progress but by all means call round for a look see and chat with the lads on site as they would love to hear your views

Saw some photos on Facebook the other day with fence posts going in, maybe THJ has a picture :rolleyes:

Over 100 metal posts concreted in around the outside ready for the actual fence (and the air fence) and the pits gate got hung as well... 

Back this weekend and I will get a couple of snaps (which may include the seating areas with a bit of luck)

Well yes geoff of course the track has gone for good................although perhaps the RL club are not entirely at fault in some respects?  It is strongly believed that the Comets Speedway were lacking in funds and owed rental to their RL landlords ?????(who knows eh?)'....And of course there was the 'new stadium' fiasco.

As regards watching the Town RL I have been a fan for 60 years, and always will be.........despite actually residing in 'jamland'.......Haven for me?  never...........
