Back in 2003, I was shown round Rosebank Speedway in Auckland by Bob Andrews, he says name-droppingly. It's a great little venue & offers some excellent racing. They have a very dedicated group of club members but have very tight restrictions as to when they can run speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Not sure I have ever visited a track without seeing a race. By the time I visited Stamford Bridge and Paisley there were no meetings being held there. The track was I guess still to be seen at the Bridge and also Paisley, but one end had been squared off at Paisley. Celtic park comes into the Bridge category as well as I am typing this out I did. once visit a town without ever getting to the track at Bad Zwischenahn. Stopped at the local petrol station to ask where the track was, and the person serving told me the meeting had been cancelled, so I just turned round without seeing the track and have never been back since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Glasgow On a slightly lighter note, I did a few meetings in Oz in 2007 when I was racing sidecars. The Aussies did their level best to get as many meetings on for the visiting Brits (plus one Dutchman) and to our great delight, one of them was at Mildura. Well the meeting did start so it doesn't strictly qualify for this thread but due to torrential rain the meeting was rained off. Beat that for the longest distance from home you've been to a rain off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve roberts Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Took me three attempts to see a meeting at Boston and then it was only half a meeting! The first attempt the meeting was postponed due to rain. The second attempt the first race didn't even reach the first bend as a bad crash at the exclusion lights caused the meeting to be abandoned. The third and final attempt we arrived at about heat six after taking in a meeting at King's Lynn (WTC Qualifier) which over ran! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedwaygb shows abandoned at 3 all, so it sounds like the race result was officially recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly the same but it took 3 attempts to see a meeting at King's Lynn, since saw a few subsequently though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
