Nice to see the pics Phil  :daumenhoch:
I did a couple of club races at the old Eastleigh track around '88 , they just had occasional club races on what was a pretty average track for the time.

It was on Chestnut Avenue but my memory is of a full gate but a narrowish track, unsurfaced (ie stony) with 1 or 2 easy jumps per straight. I could be wrong about the 8-man gate, I'll check with my dad  ???

Looks dangerous. I don't fancy riding that one, there looks to be a big step up on the third straight with a sheer drop after it.  ^"^
