Rich Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 We're always at the stock car racing in the summer at Great Yarmouth. There are a few threads on here with photos and videos I've taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 There is a place near me where they do it called Grimley, used to go bank holidays with my son. No stadiums or anything like that but was enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 The owner died and his son picked where he left but it was never the same.... In addition local residents used to complain about the noise hence the earth bank around the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted December 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Still noisy there from time to time - they use it for films now - Top Gear have used it and Leavsden studios use it for car chases and stunts. Apparently they did some tank scenes with Brad Pitt there a few years back! The owner died and his son picked where he left but it was never the same.... In addition local residents used to complain about the noise hence the earth bank around the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
