With news breaking just before the meeting that the venue had passed the SCB Inspection the atmosphere was really positive. Paul said; Tickets can be purchased on-line or on entry to the track by card or cash. Large free car park. OK to take camping chairs etc. Sensible entry checks. No bottles but OK with food and soft drinks, tea etc. Large bar, food outlets and seating for 750 otherwise large grass banks. All ticket information here; https://northampton-speedway.com/tickets-hospitality They dont want any riders bottling it that’s why strictly no bottles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 The 396m was apparently the barrier 310m is the kerb (or 1m from the kerb which I believe is the official way to measure) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why Brafield is given as 396m ... the tarmac track at Foxhall is listed as 385m, which must be the inside line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 An excellent Crowd for the first night and if the novelty value ensures 50% come back on a meeting by meeting basis they should wipe their noses. The track will need time to bed in fully. It reminded me a bit of Dudley Wood , a bit smaller but similar shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The studio presentation looked very corporate and reflected well on the new club. Fingers crossed that the promotion are doing enough to engage with locals so that they are not reliant on the general speedway fans attending but develop new local speedway fans.

Its been a shale track for years It's been a shale track for Cars Very very different prparation for Bikes.
