Quote: davetrin "If they did go ahead with speedway the coral stand would have to be removed .As for safety there would have to be changes to comply with the requirements for safety of the speedway riders.At Owlerton in Sheffield they use the stadium for dogs, speedway and car racing.All these have different requirements,the track is changed between events,steel posts and cables for car racing ,which is removed for speedway and dog racing.'"
The Coral stand is curved round the old track line and the new air fences as seen on Sky speedway will protect the riders from the posts. The main issue with the track is drainage but any new promoter would have to deal with that. My main problem with stock cars is the bits that fall off and bury themselves into the pitch.
