Carmarthen Speedway |
|
United Counties Showground, Nantyci,
Carmarthen, West Wales. The Welsh track lasted just 3 years 2002-2005 |

Mike Moseley
says: Sadly, the Dragons had but a short life of
3-years in what was unquestionably one of the prettiest venues this
sport has ever been blessed with and was located in the town's
Showground. Although they never rose above the third tier of
competition, the quality of racing was second to none. But as is the
case with so many Conference League tracks, the general public just
can't be convinced that it's worth a look, and geographically it was
doomed to fail. |

King's Lynn provided the opposition for the
first ever meeting on the 21st April 2002 losing 53-35 to the Welsh
side. The final official fixture took place on the 31st October 2004 in
what proved to be a nail-biting 46-46 affair against Buxton. |

The Defunct Speedway Website shows the locations
of tracks after they have closed down. Dean Felton rode at
Carmarthen and he was back there taking these two photographs. It
looks bleak Dean and must have been a bit of an upset for you to visit |
