Abandoned/dis-used tracks

[ghinzani]

Just talking about Matchams in another thread, got me thinking about how many abandoned and dis-used tracks there are around and about. In my area the two tracks closed down last winter - Forest Edge is as far as I know still a part of the Qinetic (b*stards they are - they stop letting Motorsport happen as an activity on their land 'cos its dangerous and then start to sponsor a Le Mans team..) complex on Avon heath, and just over the hill Matchams Kart track has closed after insurance became too high (10k for a year apparently), altho the track is still there tree roots and all. The moto-x and banger tracks also still in operation, altho I hear the owners want to build houses on the site if they can get planning so are attempting to run it down.

So any other gems sitting sorry and dis-used near you? There was a track down at St Day in Cornwall that my great uncle was succesful on in the 1960's but sadly thats been long gone also.
