Has anyone actually announced they plan to bring speedway back there yet? Huge gamble in this current climate IMO.

As the safety fence is already within inches of the supports I doubt that would work and you wouldn't want to chuck riders back onto the track and possibly under the wheels of others following. 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.

How far back would the catchment fence need to be to stop getting thrown back onto track?

No use puting up photos of the stox fence and refering to the speedway fence.

Presume the airbags will be in front.

Still looks a bit scary though.

The speedway fence will just be a wooden board against it and then an airfence on bends.

The fence would have to be 5ft high as per the regs and also some sort of padding in between

Don't think fences can be board now, it has to be welded mesh.

So Kings Lynn, Eastbourne, Peterborough, Berwick etc have got to replace their whole fence?

Maybe should have said new track or fences being replaced. Glasgow replaced the chain link with weld mesh a couple of years ago.
