went round the long bit of the track thats left there on my bike today. cant believe what they've done to it though, knocked almost all of it down built houses and warehouse supermarkets etc. how could someone do that to the worlds first purpose built race track. and even the bit that i went on (one of the bits left) was full of all these plants up on the banking coming through the cracks.
