Pandemic prompts owners of Highbridge speedway track to put their licence on hold Speedway racing won’t be taking place at the Oak Tree Arena on the outskirts of Highbridge during 2021 following a decision by the track’s owners this week to put their licence on hold. Somerset Speedway has announced a decision not to declare their intent to compete in the 2021 season amid ongoing financial concerns caused by the ongoing Covid pandemic. Club promoter Debbie Hancock said in a statement: “It is with a truly heavy heart that Dad, Garry and I have reached the decision to put our licence on hold, and we have informed our fellow promoters at this week’s Annual General Meeting of that fact.”
