You're normally ok if you go halfway down the straights..the big impacts are nearly always on the bends.There's a covered grandstand with bar .
Personally, i like to be on the pits bend .

Wear sunglasses, even if its not sunny, stops all the shit going in your eyes.

only real risk is them getting bored I would say, there can be quite a gap between races, especially after each of the banger races

Blimey, that brings back memories. An old and long-lost friend of mine at school used to race there, Simon Lester.

Much preferred Cross in Hand though. Anyone on here used to go there on Sunday afternoons?

I used to go to Arlington all the time when I was a kid, gonna try and get there this year as an NSPer races and I wanna cheer him on!

Used to go grass track racing just past worthing...forget the name...bugging me now

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I went to Arlington for the speedway, when I was young. Me and my mate always played speedway around the toilets. I can remember one day, when we had a race and we got to the first bend. He took me out by pushing me to the side, made me fall over and land on my knees.

Happy days!!!!!

I went to Cross-in-Hand once, it was a nice little circuit. Are the remains of it still there?

Duffy Collard was the dirtiest though.

 

[Marc]

the best final was when he just could'nt get past Phil White in the chequered starlet (see below). Norman Woolsey in the Royal Mail car was Genius too!


aahh the good old days!

 

[Bakesy]

Remember Paul Warwick....shit he was quick.
Sadly RIP, died in a formula 3 race at Aulton Park if memory serves me correct.

 

[m20gull]

Damn, this takes me back. Dad was a stock car driver in the late 60s for a couple of seasons and we used to go all over the place - Yarmouth, Ipswich, Aldershot (my favourite - Thursday evenings), Wimbledon and of course Arlington.

I remember such great names as Todd Sweeney, Derek Fiske and Aubrey Dance.

I haven't been to any of them for ages though.

 

[Gazwag]

Angmering?

I guess you didnt go then

 

[Lady Bracknell]

Is George Polley still around? An absolute legend he was!
