Ghostwalker Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 It seems that a new speedway track is being built in Veenoord, Netherlands. What can you say about it @DutchGrasstrack? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0i8x5gBwLfWNsL9JgrSSDxKWopefMoJ3kEVDVyLZ7tA8RU9n8JnV5wsqG45gXTTHdl&id=100057472119084 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 Yes that's right. They are building a new track on the opposite of the current track. Should be in a shape like Vojens, so much rounder then the current track. They will have a opening with practice at the first weekend of june. Dutch Championship schedules for the first weekend of july with the traditional golden helmet at the end of september. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuxtonTiger Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 Will it also be used for stockcars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 Only speedway. 2-3 events per year. I’m still quite surprised that this new build track is all funded by the local municipality Part of a bigger renewal of their local sporting-complex though, but still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technik Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 I have to wonder why they would build a second track at the same venue. I was there some years ago & it was a great track for the 500cc sidecars at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 The current track is gone, and now replaced by a concrete/asphalt surface. This will be used as a skeeler track, or speed-skating in the winter (if it freezes lol).
