Hawks6991 Posted Wednesday at 02:44 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 02:44 PM Link to a photo of the Raceway bridge being removed. Thought it might be of interest to some. I still miss Friday nights at Arena! https://www.facebook.com/100064833065454/posts/1060268559477570/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Stadia Posted Wednesday at 04:40 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 04:40 PM I saw this. And someone mentioned there is a raceway in Stansted, Essex for bangers. Any good for speedway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawks6991 Posted Wednesday at 05:51 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 05:51 PM A good question. Can’t recall it ever being mentioned as a possible new venue. Lots of photos on the internet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noaksey Posted Wednesday at 06:44 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 06:44 PM It's pretty basic, not enough room for a separate track so would need to be shared with the cars I'd say it's worth an enquiry especially if the Rye House revival doesn't happen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any good for speedway? Like most 'club' banger tracks, it's a dirt track in a field. Rough, bumpy surface that has never seen shale. The fence is made up of tyres embedded into the ground. Totally unsuitable for any decent level of speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Braintree organisers move up the road to Stansted do you know, when Braintree had to close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Thumb Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago There has been several looks at the Stansted site over the years but nothing ever came of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
