Boston Sports Stadium, New Hammond Beck Road, Boston Lincolnshire.
This is the only home of speedway in Boston. Speedway was presented
here between 1970 and 1987
Such a
pity Boston has no viable successor to the New Hammond Beck Road
track. The 'Cudas would have been fierce rivals of
Scunthorpe in northern Lincolnshire

Speedway please get in touch John
Update: Mike Moseley writes: Boston started life by taking on the King's Lynn
Starlets fixtures, and staged their first meeting at New Hammond Beck
Road in the August of 1970, defeating local rivals Peterborough in a
challenge match. They continued with a fair degree of on track success
until the conclusion of the 1984 season, when the promotion were forced
to shut the doors due to conflicting business interests. They did reform
in the spring of '86, but crowd levels began to fall at an alarming
rate, and speedway ceased for ever on the 1st August 1987 with a
lack-lustre display against Eastbourne.

Very popular lesser lights in the Boston
team. Every team had riders like Pete and Guy. The
gave their all, sometimes they struggled for points but
entertained the crowd sometimes more than the star men.
