the hobbit 153 Posted May 5, 2023 Myself and two friends are coming up from Birmingham for the opening meeting. Can anyone tell me the admission price please as I can’t find it on the clubs website. Also, will there be any food outlets at the track where we can get a meal after our early start. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure re track food outlets as yet, but will probably be in the scheme of things???? However in the Dunmail Park shopping/cinema/Asda building alongside the speedway arena.......( on other side of railway line) there are indeed some decent food outlets.

Parking available on a grassed area (looks well drained) inside the Northside areana also a car park on LH side 50 meters passed the speedway entrance,besides the sea, also if going to busy would think parking would-be available on one side of access road, if people parked safely and properly, may need too as Steve Lawson suggesting a crowd of 2000 in his interview last week.

comet49 316 Posted May 6, 2023 Been down to practice, track looks great and fast with great viewing from a higher level. Forecast rain didn’t happen, roll on next week, everything crossed for good weather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scampispeedway 68 Posted May 6, 2023 I posted a little earlier that I would like to pop over from Newcastle to have look at the new set up but unfortunately this will not happen now as I've been told that my car needs a part front end respray. This is because some nice driver bumped the offside lower part panel on my car and sprung the body work which I thumped back in shape but after a trip to my body repair garage because it also took off some outer paint work and this needs repainting to repair the obvious white streak on my main body colour which is dark blue. This will set me back nearly £350.00 and as I'm not claiming on my insurance, I have to stand the cost myself also I do have other things to pay for out of my works and state pension money that sadly means I have to drop my planned trip to Workington for now.

Diamonds85 702 Posted May 6, 2023 Did we get to find out the riding order yet? I think it will be quite interesting to know as there's not really a stand out number 5 and all 4 of the top 5 (excluding Bailey) would make brilliant second strings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
