GiveusaB Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Need to add Camarthen and Bristol... Instead of naming 'amount' of tracks.....what about naming 'favourite' track and why ? I loved Halifax for the banked bends and as a kid, I loved the Old Belle Vue for the fairground Crewe was great, simply because you could get so close to the track.....(no such thing as H&S back in them days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJC Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 12 minutes ago, steve roberts said: ...wish I had visited St.Austell! What a place that was. One of my favourite visits as a kid. We got down really early and stayed in a BnB or pub in St Dennis I think it was. We went to the track for a reccy around 1 in the afternoon and got shown all around the place, taken up into the ref's box and really made to feel welcome. Think it may have been Seemond that showed us around. The track was a fantastic watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have also liked to have visited the "new" St.Austell...have a meeting on DVD and seemed surreal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Safety Fence" there was interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetracer Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I have visited about 15 different tracks in the last 65 years. My favourite by a long way was BUXTON. Such a beautiful situation. I am astonished that the Peak District National Park authorities allowed a track to be built in such a splendid location. But, they did! I was very disappointed when Buxton closed. 200 miles from my home, but I tried to visit it every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I ever saw Craig Cook ride. Must have been 2009 ish when Poole had a junior team or NL team. Which was handy as the senior team were bad that year 5 hours ago, GiveusaB said: Need to add Camarthen and Bristol...

But that was in 2006-2010. Prob had better material for the track then. Stadium/facilities wise I kinda liked Lakeside and track was never as bad as people made out tbh. Access to the pits was really good there, massive car park etc. Eastbourne a close second, big car park like Lakeside and good food outlets and bar too!
