Was watching Dan Bewley going round on his dirt track bike 24th October 2021 prior to his first DT meeting at BV and this track and the plans Andy has for it sound and look impressive... Good luck Andy... Regards THJ Newcastle boys should feel at home on this track ! . . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depending on the qualification rules maybe NDL but that will be down to Andy as to which way he jumps... but it is positive news for a change...

mac101 1,187 Posted November 10, 2021 Steve told me it’s 17 mtr wide corners 12 mtr wide straights just over 420 odd mtrs long a bit like Redcar and belle vue combined and he is hoping to be ready for a few winter armature meeting 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know about any amateur meetings soon as there is still a great deal to do infrastructure wise but when Andy and Steve get going they really crack on so who knows... be great for Workington as a town that is for sure...

lbw 869 Posted November 10, 2021 Hope every thing comes together at Northside as I've enjoyed many a trip up to Workington and made some friends with fans from there on the trip to Bydgoszcz in 2000 to see Mark Loram crowned World Champion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neila 1,149 Posted November 10, 2021 Now the secret is out was told track based on Redcar with a bit of belle Vue, maybe a bit early for training this winter, would think (only my opinion ) that a training track and open meetings in 2022 then see how speedway as a whole shapes up for league speedway in 2023, good luck to the guy sorting things out, will have to have a walk down this weekend to see progress 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marksman 528 Posted November 11, 2021 It says in the Speedway Star that ambitous plans are in place, and the intention is to stage National Dev. League racing there in 2022.. NDL will be expanding in 2022 to include more teams it says, Oxford are going to be 1 of them, running alongside the Championship. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
