Track 4 is kynn lynn i think

 

Track 5 altho i cant see many houses i'll guess at long eaton with mart

 

Scrappy is yours newtongrange? only seen 1 picture before so not sure it had all that terracing

[Marcy_Boi#133]

I would guess that it isnt actually a banger track.  You can see a football pitch marked out, it looks like an athletics track, and on the right the beige area looks as thought it is for throwing events.

 

Go on, now tell me what banger track it is doh! lol

[Guest Scrapman53]

Lol. Spot on Mav.    Soz lads, couldn't resist. It's an athletics track in the North East of Manchester. Don't know the name though.

I know but won't spoil it.

Very sad sight (or should that be "site").....went past it when we drove the truck & saloon back from the ill fated Venray world cup meet last sunday.

 

Host of many good meetings/championships, incl. the very 1st Saloon WF back in 82..........and some european bangerchampionships..........gettin us the very first views of wot we now class as "British tin/material 

 

If only our PA system could be there again......echoing some (cheesy) 70's Schlager music/Abba etc etc.....and Heinz Baum (r.i.p.) or Edi Launart on the mike.....

(can anyone give me a link to this aerial pics site ??)

regards Geert

 

 

p.s. This picture ain't a recent one btw, these days half of the backstraight (that's the strip nearest to the motorway on the right) has already been filled up, beginning of home straight just intact.......that makes 25 % of the track gone.....

Right... closed in 1986 and like limbo said not even total gone. I now drive another way to venray that i think is not that long but most reason.. i won´t pass my "so called first live" that i´m really missing.

So for all to know.. Kaldenkirchen´s track manger was my uncle, in the ticket shop working have been my uncles wife (so my don´t know the word "aunt"?) and my mother. Starter have been my other uncle and my father.. So i growed up with that sport and that track. With about 1 and a half years i did my first visit to Ipswich to the speedweekend. Followed by another 6 times. Last time has been 1984. Most times we get there with Heino Studt. Allready died but was one of the drivers from germany that got to ispwich more than once to race.

So after 10 years even not knowing that that sport still exist here i got back my first time at venray followed with some meetings in Posterholt and Baarlo. I saw the last ever race in Baarlo and i can say i got a fight with my tears seeing the track managerin driving on the control car before the F1 made the last race there. Second track i saw closed. And even that i don´t liked that track so much i really hurt.

 

Everybody is talking about Formel 1. Spending 100´s of € to see some car in only one corner or one straight cause of the tracks built.. but our loved sport is doing a nearly died work for so many many many years. Why don´t people get into that sport that is fantastic, impressive and really nice to watch??

 

Ok i´m little bit drunken and should stop now.. sorry for the long read

 

[Guest Trash]

Kaldenkirchen certainly looks good on the video I have which is two banger European meets from the mid 1980's. Plenty of top english drivers and a heck of a lot of cars in each race if I remember rightly.
