Is this Northwest?

Anyway Terry and I went up there with the drift cars last Sunday to see if it's worth putting a drift event on.

It is and it should be August 2nd, so if you fancy a run out...

Pretty dangerous with the barriers, but good fun and that's what matters. Oh and I know it's a pikey sport before you start,

but tell me that doesn't look like fun!

Buxton is in the Midlands; it being in Derbyshire.

We get Northwest Tonight on the BBC, ergo we're in the northwest.......... techically we're in the east midlands but noone mentions it.

and it's got an SK postcode, so it's Stockport, Northwest smile
We did Buxton Raceway a few years ago, great little circuit and we had a good laugh there:

By that logic it's 20 minutes from Ashbourne to Buxton so Ashbourne is in the North West.

Nice pics, bit different to my last visit, we used to go and watch the banger racing there (about 25 years ago). Used to be called High-edge raceway when I was a lad..... The only time I've been on the track is for a sponsored bike ride and a go-kart (home made soap-box derby type) race.

Might drag the family up one weekend

Back on topic, we're running a day there on August 2nd, so if anyone fancies a run out it should be worth watching.
