Just doing a bit of catching up on this thread .And remembering some of the tracks .
I raced on the Crystal Palace circuit , [ I think I also did the last ever full circuit race there ,] Aintree . The original Snetterton circuit with the long Norwich straight .
Snetterton reminds me of one that I doubt that many people have heard of .
FERSFIELD . Old WW11 airfield used as a racetrack in the 1950s .The races there then moved to Snetterton when that airfield was turned into a racetrack , again in the 1950s .
A lot of old airfields were used as racetracks , and I guess there is quite a few more that have disappeared forever .
