Hi.
Im just wondering if Barrow has ever been post and wire in the past ?

thanks

yep your right there paul, if i remember correctley its near where steeleys yard is now well according to some people i asked who used to race down there in the good old days when bangers was propper racing none of the crap about threatening people there going to be put into a wooden box!!

it was all helping each other e.t.c but ohh well time moves on doesnt it

I'm sure part of its still there? You can see it from the road I think - looks like some sort of defunct stadium/grandstand. Aways wanted to go and have a look

yea that was the sandpit wernt it, not shure if it was post and wire even tho it did have these aswell as a armco on it looking at the pictures,

The "Sandpit" track is up the road from Roosecote raceway .. in the trees is the bottom bend ..

right oki thanks mate, must have been park road track that was wire and post ... dont know if thats correct but i assume so as my dads mate used to race down there in the good old days

Yeah park road was deffo post and wire,will check a few speedway sites when my mate send me links and try to get some pics of the place (although they will have bikes not cars on) lol

thank you for the information.
really appreciated

Just to clear things up, there was a track on Park Road, and a track where the Gas Terminal now is.

When the Gas Terminal built on the land of the track they helped build and fund the new track when it first opened - the Salthouse Mills.

Nice of them!

i was told about a DVD of the track being built,if i ever get a hold of it mate i'll do you a copy if you like.

Really? Nice. Never heard of a DVD being made

Was told at hedno teams that there was 1,probably someones personal footage. Working on getting a copy of that and i also have my own footage of the track and mills,may be quite crap but its still footage of most of the area when it wasn't falling to bits (Feb 07) theres 45 mins and its still on my old camera (really really old,like when they were 1st invented lol),if i can get it off and onto some sort of disc/video i'll work on getting it on my PC and hopefully youtube.

At least it would be something to remember it by when its all gone

I have footage of the work party and the whole area a week before the fire which will be appearing somewhere as an extra on my crash vid. Watch This Space!

Will be buying that for deffo,don't edit it though lol make sure every inch is there
