Aspatria Speedway

Brayton Domain, Aspatria, Cumbria.  This track was used for training between 1971 and 1973 

The track was constructed under the eyes of ex Newcastle rider Maurice Stobbart.  The schools were usually run by ex Workington Lou Sansom, Ken Vale and Bernie Hornby.  The site is only 20 odd miles from Workington so most trainees will have had rides at the home of the Comets too.  One name that springs to mind is Steve Lawson who used the training track on his way to becoming a star for the Comets.
