Hawks6991 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Stadia Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 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 February 19 Author Report Share Posted February 19 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 February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 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? Expand 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 February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 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...
baxiboy Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Didn’t Phil Morris mention a new track was supposed to open in a live YouTube presentation at the end of 2023 I think? I believe it was supposed to be in Northamptonshire? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
