By agreement with Coventry City Council, the club occupy the Hearsall Common Cycle Speedway track. In May 2011, the club, utilising their own voluntary labour and self raised funds, reinstated the Hearsall Common track to international standard, after four years of decline. This was at no cost to any taxpayer.

 

An astonishing revival took place throughout the summer of 2011. Once again, the Hearsall Common track now boasts a thriving community sports club, catering for elite sporting cyclists and providing a rich range of exciting racing competition for scores of local young people.

 

Parents of local youngsters help organise the club.

 

In 2012, the Coventry successfully ran a full programme of racing providing a varied agenda of competition for elite, veteran and junior riders alike. They successfully introduced a weekly `Club  Night`, aimed at new riders, organised by volunteers Dave Frith, Norman Venson and Myke Grimes. This provided exciting, healthy and energetic activity to many dozens of local young people throughout the summer.
