Oaks Park Ramblers - Raced here in '88 Thornton Heath Off Roaders - Raced here in '89/'90 Surbiton Off Roaders - Raced here in '94 I dont have any photos at all unfortunately, would be awesome to see any photos/videos if anyone has any! |

I think I raced at all three, depending on the answers to the questions below
Oaks Park Ramblers - was that the grass track that was on the entrance to a golf course? Was Thornton Heath Off Roaders by the crematorium? A worn grass permanent track if I remember. Surbiton Off Roaders was by a football club, a go-kart track and a caravan park, yes or no? Multi surface from what I recall. Parking/pitting wasn't exactly track side... |

Oaks park yes, Surbiton yes, Thornton Heath may have been next to a crematorium, not sure, I mainly remember the football club next door.
Post 'em if you find them Martin! |

The Medway track was at Elm Court Hempstead.
The bootfair was in the field next to the track and just up from the garden center. Half astro and half concrete if i remember correct.

Oaks park ramblers??
Anyone used to race there back in the late 80's early 90's. Trying to see if any old members may still be racing and remember where the old track last was to see if any remnants there at all? Last location I seem to remember was next to a football pitch near the Purley Way South East London? Post below if you have any info. I remember the Dibbles used to run it?

I raced there 86-89 and was wondering what happened to the Dibbles?
Where in Surbiton did it move to? |
