I seem to remember that a Speedway representative has already visited it and said it was OK, so there must be some plan for it. It’s not inches, it’s at least the minimum 2 metres.

The speedway fence will just be a wooden board against it and then an airfence on bends. Edited February 16, 2021 by Rob B 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe should have said new track or fences being replaced. Glasgow replaced the chain link with weld mesh a couple of years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
