Scunthorpe Speedway

I’ve been a speedway fan for years, initially following Halifax Speedway at the Shay in the era of the great Kenny Carter, with some of my other favourites including Dougie “Flyer” Wyer, Steve Baker, Martin “Mad Dog” Dixon... then Bradford Speedway and Gary Havelock, Sean Wilson... Middlesbrough Speedway, Hull Speedway... and I’ve also spent many an evening at the Newcastle, Birmingham, Rye House and Cradley Heath tracks while living near those at various times in the past. Fun times. Sadly, most of the tracks near me are now defunct! My local is now Scunthorpe Speedway, which is a great little track on the northern outskirts of Scunthorpe... well worth a visit if you’ve never been before!

How to get to Scunthorpe Speedway

I’ve recently been playing around with a Garmin Sat Nav unit and noticed that the postcode for Scunthorpe Speedway covers quite a large area, so worked out the co-ordinates for the car park so it will go directly to the right place... and added a little “S” icon and appropriate mp3 sound clip from a recent meeting there! Works a treat! I include them here for anyone else wanting to use them - and a TomTom converted version too, though I haven't tested that. You can either download the infividual bits you want by right-clicking on the links and saving, or there’s a zipped file containing all of them. Download to your computer and upload to your Sat Nav GPS unit in whatever way you usually use - I“m assuming you know how to do this (if not there are lots of other websites explaining it so I won’t duplicate that effort here)...
On my Garmin you can then go to Extras, Custom POI, and there it is!
If you find this useful, please drop me an email to say so, and also let me know if you want any other speedway tracks adding and I'll have a go. :-)
