There are only glimpses of the racing in this video, instead it is trying to capture the atmosphere of the night at the final speedway meeting ever to be held at Arena Essex before closure.
The infamous Arena track wasn't giving up without a fight though, numerous start tape breakages, a couple of collisions with both air fences and other incidents all meant that the last race, heat 15 didn't finish until 11:00pm.
Look out for Lakeside's 16 year old Jason Edwards making Arena Essex/lakeside history,
Lakeside's Arena Essex Jackets
And former Arena captain Leigh Lanham take the symbolic final four laps.
Please give a thumbs up (or down) for the video. Thanks

Heartbreaking after all those wonderful years of excitement and happy memories 😭. That was me at the end of the video waving my arms on track. Hope we get a new stadium in Essex soon, so the Hammers can come home.

A sad night for the hammers and their fans and also for the sport. I always enjoyed going there and will miss it. Hopefully they can find a suitable venue in the Essex area to continue. Nice that they went out on a win.
