Biffo Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Just looking at an interesting little web site , petemarsh.freeuk. Someone starting to clear the old Spedeworth site of undergrowth at Cross - in - Hand, in Sussex during 2008 Now look what they`ve found. Seen some photos of it under the trees and bushes but this is the first time I`ve seen it revealed............wow Taken from the pits end, hasnt been raced on since 1972 and unlikely ever will be after being banned by local coucil
The London Allstar Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 There was a thread about this on ovalchat a few months ago, i think someone said the site had been cleared to get it rady for housing, but could be wrong as my memory isnt the best
Spud133 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 It was also on the oval racing forum. Someone cleared it ready for racing then the owner's kicked them off. http://www.ovalracingforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1863
Lee Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Cleared for flats and council housing. not sure if its going ahead though due to the old (abandoned????) petrol station.

Wouldnt it be nice if they kept the oval for a road and kept the centre green and built the houses round the outside. I guess that would be asking too much

theboss Posted December 29, 2009 Report Posted December 29, 2009 Yes, the track WAS being restored, well cleared at least and meetings were planned but the development ran in to problems I believe, and is on hold. Was hoping to be run by a guy called Mick I believe, used to race at the old Fleet track in the Stock Cars. And the garage is still there? Has just had a refit.
