It's the news we've all been waiting for; the return to Arlington Stadium, Eastbourne! Thanks to the monumental efforts of a small army of hugely generous people we are now once again able to say "let's go racing" at the south coast venue. As many have seen, the efforts to bring the venue back to life with hundreds of litres of paint, countless hours and plenty of work has resulted in the stadium looking immaculate and work won't be stopping anytime soon as we look to the future.

To re-open the venue on November 14th, it's something of a true Arlington Saturday night with the bumper-clanging UK Barn Finds Historic Stock Cars and Junior Micra Stock Cars taking to the stage alongside the Back to Basics Bangers - a cornerstone of the venue back in town.

Following on from this, it's all eyes on November 28th with the National Banger circus rolling into town for the All Granada special - which is set to be a truly special event to celebrate racing returning to this much-loved venue.

Spedeworth Motorsports are proud to be investing in the future of oval racing once again as we remain committed to being the leading promoter of the sport and continuing the highs of the 2026 season for years to come. We really cannot do it without you, and we would like to thank everyone for the support on both sides of the fence!
