Greggs, ford, screw-fix etc are not on the land where the speedway was,the outline of where all the track was is still there ,the bar on first bend is used as an office now, the car parks infront of the track are still there and when you go up to the main gates which are still there you wouldn’t know the track isn’t there, not a lot has changed and all the new builds are going the opposite direction to the track as you turn off the main road with ford being the closest, I was under the impression that they were going to build on the track but that doesn’t seem to be the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
