Nothing definite (that I know of), but at the last match, the announcer did mention talks were in progress, about keeping the same charity partner, and that Tigers 50/50 jackpot would roll over to next season, if not won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racin Jason 72 Posted yesterday at 05:34 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:34 PM Are the return of the stock cars simply down to being able to now use the land behind the stadium for their pits ? I noticed on BSN the land is clear of solar panels now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed on BSN the land is clear of solar panels now It was never going to be solar panels going in there, it was battery storage units for solar generated power. Not sure if they are there or how much space they have taken, but the stock car promoters have said that they are having to work with limited pit space for the meeting on Tuesday. This is a test event with a view to a full return in 2027, but there are also plans to extend the available pit space if that happens. Not sure what Dean is implying about it possibly not being a good sign for Speedway if Stock Cars are back. They have run alongside each other previously so why not now ? Stock Cars would most likely run on a Sunday or occasional Monday, but probably no more than 4 or 5 times a year so it won't impact on Tigers being able to use the stadium.

InTheDeepStuff Posted 2 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 2 hours ago The downside to stock cars being back at Owlerton is damage they cause, it’s been seen before holes in the track after a stocks meeting and a couple of years back the fence damaged which was left to speedway promotion to repair. Also need then more people to help with the install/uninstall of the air fence which can just be left deflated when the stocks left the stadium and that’s been a struggle getting help in recent years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
