Steve Turner 0 Posted May 21, 2003 For now Kevin, I can tell you from memory it's about 35 miles the other side of Brussels. So it's not a very long drive. I think it's the A2 out of Brussels but any decent Euro map will show you. Heusden-Zolder, as you might expect, is right between Heusden and errr...Zolder 8) The track's a decent size, about 370m. Usually slick but that's no problem and it's a good atmosphere. It's the only speedway track in Belgium by the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the only speedway track in Belgium by the way. I seem to remember making the trip last summer with PB tours. A tremendously hot day spent on a coach lost in Belgium. We arrived at the track late and then missed the ferry home! The track was probably one of the worst I've seen. The holes in it were incredible! I also remember a really hard concrete "safety" fence!

Travel de Courcey (Nookie Bear travel) - we'll get you there ! Poor old PB, all that planning and they couldn't read a map or take advice ! Best bit was Maurice and the driver having a lets call it 'discussion' on arrival at the track - its a long way to walk Maurice, had to buy him a false beard and funny specs to get him back on board 8) As for that safety fence, concrete uprights and criss cross members with solid wooden facias, hmmm.
