Grew up watching my dad race here in the #6 outlaw hot rod, even had a chance around the track myself in a mini sprint when I was 6, would love for this to open again so I could take my kids one day.

It's not even in PRI's hands now. You'd need to talk to the new owners to see when (or if) they are going to start building or if they are willing to let the circuit. I know of rumours but from the last I heard, that's all they are. CJ - PRI

I raced there in 2017 in a ninja kart, first time racing in England. Definitely the best track that I have ever raced at it’s a shame what has happened to it, would love to see it opened again

What a waste. When of the all time great banger tracks which was at its prime in the early 90's before it became all cliquey. The Firecracker meetings were unreal.

First track I raced at when I was 13 trying out a 1600cc Hot Rod. Such a shame what has become of it. There is a main sewer located underneath which will cost the property developers too much to build on it, hence its left to rot.

Its because there is a main sewer running underneath that would cost far too much to adapt and build luxury apartments on.
