Have you heard anything about it recently? I have been there, as recently as this spring and it is your average 80's run down track, mainly consiting of mud and a few small bumps. Roger Wilbraham was spearheading the BCF's attempts to have the track upgraded to National standard and in 03 it was thought that £60K had been granted for the track to be raceworthy for Summer 04, but due to the local Cheshire set kicking up a fuss nothing happened.......unless it's been done on the quiet.

I went there this summer, is as you'd expect.  Let me see if I can remember how to post pics.
