Remember racing there to back in the mid 90's with a Yokomo Works 93. Don't know when it closed though.

1 story I heard was they had issues with whatever they used to maintain the clay track seeping into the river next to it.

Ture or False?

Yes i heard they mixed oil with the clay so water ran off the top, it worked well but after a few years it was getting into the river and surrounding rugby pitches. I was told they were closed by the environmental agengy

OOPS
