"A new track is to be built in Beaumont Lees"

Where's that then?

Near Anstee Lane :icon_bigg

The promoters are revealed Saturday and from then on, I'll be more confident that I'll actually see us ride.

Rather annoyed that we've been drawn in the 'South' Group of the Premier Trophy as opposed to fixtures at Brum, Scunny and Sheffield. It's now Newport, Kings Lynn, Rye House and Somerset.

Beumont Leys ? Wasn't the old track over that way, Blackbird Road my memory could be going though, and I did leave Leicester a long time ago. Roar of the bikes smell of the fuel, bliss

Yep. Here's some pics of the old track.

i heard this is now not happened.

They will not be league racing next season.

There's a problem with the lease because of the multi-use complexity of it all.

So they are taking their time and will hopefully have the complex operating as a whole as opposed to just a track in an open field.
