From memory, I think ex Scorpion Scott Anderson raced there on a speedway bike but it is for ALL bikes & I mean ALL. I once saw a Laverda Jota raced there. It was that quick at acceleration to the straights it nearly always went wide in the corners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmauger Posted November 26 Report Share Posted November 26 (edited) Can reccomend this, when I was way younger my Dad took me fishing to Filey, North Yorkshire, this woulda bin late 1970's / early 1980's ?, & I was delighted to discover sand racing was taking place - who knew ? I had just got into speedway a few previous years ago & recall there were different classes: grass / sand track bikes, Moto-X, sidecars, diff engine capacities, etc. Recall one guy seemed to be in almost every race, we watched him & he just re-fuelled & went straight again. Speaking to him afterwards he told us he rode a 250 so could compete in many more classes (250, 350, 500, unlimited, etc) so more skids for his buck. One last thing: we know how a speedway track changes so rides different as a meet progresses (dries out, dirt moves, etc) well the Filey track actually changed shape as the tide came in, from a big 'Belle Vue shape', towards to the end was a long 'sausage-shaped track', imagine, say, IOW's straights with Lakeside's bends. But, yeh, a good day out, reccomended. FOC too.... Edited November 29 by martinmauger date, (lack of) cost info added 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
