Rumours abound that everyone's favourite marmite promoter, Deane Wood, is in the market for a new track. There are rumours that he is freeing up some money to take on an assualt for another track, and there are quite a few to potentially choose from....
SKEGNESS
It's been no secret that Skegness has been up for sale for some time. Hazel Cooke, the promoter is looking. for a way out. She is promoter designate for the cash cow that is the F1 world final, and would be a fitting way to retire. It would be a useful fit for Wood - the Spedeworth lot would have another East Anglian track to race on, and Wood would love to have the Uk Speedweekend, one of the biggest (if not the biggest) meetings of the year.
BUXTON
Now Dave Pierce has been looking to retire from promoting duties, especially now he is a major part in the FORDS benevolent fund, again he has been stepping back. A northern track with all the necessary and not under threat from the developer, it could be a very good fit.
RINGWOOD
Deano's been here before, he took over after Reg Slack's death, but pulled out soon after, leaving the track out of the ORCi fold with the Trojan organisation. However rumours abound that they are looking for a cash injection, and Barford Cyril's there too, which is too beleived with a pinch of salt.
ARENA
Constantly struggling for car numbers for the 2's, Arena is potentially a track that could benefit from a superstox influx. Deep in the heartland of Spudworth, and with Wimbo under threa, it would be a perfect fit for Wood.
Stilll all rumour and conjection, and my source is a friend of a friend, but he certainly seems to be a behemoth in the UK oval racing scene.
forgot cowdie!
