Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted September 26, 2018 Looks like that would ride almost like a circle. Not a bad thing. Better than a small track with long straights and tight bends any day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,631 Posted September 27, 2018 Virtually the same size as Poole (299.1m), Should be great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityrebel 2,960 Posted September 27, 2018 Are you Swindon fans convinced that the stadium revamp is finally gonna happen, or is it more hot air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted September 27, 2018 I'm in the "can't see it happening myself " camp. I'm not a Swindon fan but I am a speedway racing fan. And the "another track bites the dust" news would be portentous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some great racing at Mildenhall Starry, but of course it needs two decent teams as well. I was just highlighting the shape, not the length. Good luck next Monday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just highlighting the shape, not the length. Good luck next Monday Yeh understand that i did see the length on the photo, but again that to me is a great shape as long as you have plenty of width and a bit of banking on the bends to counteract that width. Somerset has plenty of width it is wider than poole, but both are great shape tracks, P'boro is another, only problem is you can have to much of a good thing, and then it becomes boring, thats not a critisum. Thanks for Monday, im very sure we will do our best. Edited September 27, 2018 by Starman2006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,631 Posted September 27, 2018 In the longer Terry Russell article in the Speedway Star he says that much of the new speedway track work should be done in October and November. The dog track will also be changed and Gaming International will be trying to do that work in between greyhound race days over the winter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
