Generally following Plymouth but a few other meetings such as pairs, fours etc...

Plymouth, Somerset, Newport, Swindon, Leicester, Buxton (what a place), Rye House, Lakeside, Ipswich, Peterborough, Sheffield, Weymouth, IOW, Poole, Birmingham (for a rain off), Cardiff, Warsaw.

Hoping to add a few more northern tracks soon.

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 :D

Crewe was great, simply because you could get so close to the track.....(no such thing as H&S back in them days) :D

...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.

I did visit a track there in the 70s for stock cars. Not sure if it is the same one used for speedway ?

I think it was...Trevor Redmond was the promoter (?). I would have also liked to have visited the "new" St.Austell...have a meeting on DVD and seemed surreal!

You should have tried Brooklands at Romford for getting close to the action.  The "Safety Fence" there was interesting.

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.

Buxton!! Only went once but I like that you can watch it from your car. 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 ;)

Hmmm, track wise prob Peterborough. 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!
