I used to go there every night before it was finished to test the track for the builders and these piccys were in the Deby Evening Telegraph which i bought copies.I wish i could wind the clock back sometimes.Riding a BH California Star which almost every part had been replaced

Me too, i rode there loads of times 85until alvaston replaced it. I remember watching gary llewelyn spewing up in a disused booth behind the start hill just before a pro race in 86 or 87. I also remember going over the bars when attempting to ride down the big steps in an empty grandstand on the first straight side of the stadium and using my face as a brake. I never had good results at derby greyhound but it was always in good nick. Didn't they have a timing system too?
