SKEGNESS Stadium
www.skegness-stadium.info

Skegness is still a popular
holiday destination for millions of
families and has been since the
1930s. Perched on the drier side
of Britain, this seaside resort is
small enough to have a friendly
atmosphere and large enough to
provide hours of entertainment
for young and old alike.

The picturesque Stock Car
Stadium is situated just on the
outskirts of Skegness, a couple of
miles inland from Ingoldmells and
draws in the crowds of holiday
makers year after year,

Construction started in 1976 by
Frank Hughes, (Nev Hughes'
Brother) and by the end of the
decade Vince Moody had bought
the track rights and rejuvenated
its appeal to the public.

In 1977 the opportunity of
Speedway brought shale to the
track but a re-think in 2004 saw
the race surface return to tarmac.
Skegness has remained an
attractive venue for grass roots
motorsport ever since.
As the season begins in March, a
20 0844 840 8104

range of race meetings take
place until November including
most weekends, extra Thursdays
from June and at the peak of the
holiday season, additional
Tuesdays and a few Bank
Holidays.

Skeggy stadium provides a host
of facilities for souvenir hunting
holiday makers, regular stock car
enthusiasts and the locals
including two bars, several food
outlets, well stocked track shops
selling racing DVD's, air horns,
Race Magazines, T-Shirts,
sweets and stickers.

Depending on the time of year,
Skeggy track showcases many
types of oval racing, from the low
cost high entertainment Bangers,
to the sophisticated racing
machines of the powerful fullcontact BriSCA F1 Stock Cars. If
precision racing is more your cup
of tea then the high speed non contact pure race machines of
the National Hot Rods are often
on show.
Stock Car Stadiums by nature let

you see all of the action all of the
time and Skeggy is no exception,
with their high level banking to
view from. On rainy days there's
a large terraced Grandstand on
the back straight or watch from
the comfort of your car in the
parking "Track View" area
