Is this a private race track?

[bobfather]

Just found this near Wingate. Looks like a farmer has cut himself a private race track. Time to make friends with the owner

Its my front garden.

Send me some cash (in the post) and i'll let you have a few laps if you like.

You'll have to bring your own car.

So that's - send you £10 per week, don't stop until you tell me - right

Not sure about this but many years ago when into rallying we were invited to test a car we built somewhere in that very place?.The gentleman that owned it had a group one rs2000 that was sponsered by smiths crisps as he grew and supplied the potatos for them I am sure its the same place.

Thats correct.

I'm glad you remembered how it works.

Looks a bit on the small side.... trotting maybe?

looks like a horse oval to me - white railings on the inside corners

[bobfather]

Wheel tracks and tarmac, that doesn't look like horse training to me.

wheels? tarmac? I can see some hay in black polythene but no wheels. nothing to suggest motorsport at all ...

So all those horses in the paddocks to the left are untrained then. Shame.

I used to live up the road from there ... that farm is a racing stables and that track is a sort of horse exercise circuit

Not much of a track, more NASCAR style... I just live down the road, may take a drive up and see, but have to agree looks like a horse thing to me, if you look to the south it sure does look like the fence's they put around horse race tracks:

Infact, just looking at it, that track looks like a miniture sedgefield race course

I agree with Bob, in fact did you not take a spyshot there ages ago of a special development green Chimaera. It was the one with the shortened chassis

If it wasn't you who had the pic then it'll make no sense to you at all

[bobfather]

This is my short wheelbase Chimaera

That's the fella
