Marksman 536 Posted September 2, 2022 Kelvin Tatum has a new podcast out with Dan talking about his 2 GP wins and the new track at Northside... "I think it could potentially be the best racetrack in the world" "It's like Belle Vue with some character" https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/dan-bewley/id1641594866?i=1000578057860 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neila 1,162 Posted September 3, 2022 The podcast is well worth a listen Dan comes across very well and has high praise for the new Northside track and what Steve Lawson has done to help him get to where he is now, IMO Dan is a future world champion 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marksman 536 Posted September 28, 2022 Found this nice drone footage someone has taken in August on YouTube, really shows off the track and it's surronding area... The BSPL AGM will be fast approaching with the NL AGM to follow later on I think, may hear some more news soon. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor 270 Posted September 29, 2022 Two questions; Has there ever been a Speedway track, closer to the sea? What plans are there, in the short, and long term for spectators? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Used to be tag lined as 'Commotion By The Ocean'. When I went in the 80's and 90's you parked on sand dunes looking out onto the Pacific. The 'Beach Bikini Competitions' at the interval would get a good crowd of non speedway fans attending! Not sure if it would be warm enough to stage them at Northside though!!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
