This update: 30/01/2026

These pages are dedicated to the brief but colourful history of Hastings Speedway which existed in the late 1940s. Research into the events that surrounded the club is still continuing and more will be added as time goes on. Come back frequently.

Hastings must have the very few speedway stadiums where over 50 years on, much of the original cinder track still remains along with many of the clues to its former glory.

May the spirit of Hastings Speedway and the bravery of its riders live in your fondest memories forever.

I have spent much time researcing and providing this website free of charge and ask you to please not download the images and use them elsewhere. Please be polite and ask if you need anything.
It is so irritating that the likes of 'Speed-Away' promotions used much of the information from this site without even asking and then charged people £10 for the privilege of a booklet containing the information I researched. I encourage you not to support the 'Speed-Away' promotions enterprise, because it is not honourable in its endeavours to gain information.
