there were 2 tracks in the early 80's, there was one on some park which was crap & there was one built on a coal hill with some killer whoops, you started going up hill to the first berm then it was all downhill... ring any bells??????
-
no my memory is really bad from when i was kid .too much stella over the years i think ,from being brought up in pub .where was the other one ?
-
The race track at Bradford is the one in the park - it's not to bad but could do with a resurface
Weston - your memory is right about the one built on the coal hill. Big start hill with 1st straight going uphill and then the rest all coming back down! I was a member of Bradford Bandits BITD

you went up from the start into the first berm left turn & hit the whoops, they soon demolished these due to the amount of accidents & put in a step up tabletop... the fastest track i ever raced on..

I think it used to be faster BITD before they changed it! You used to come down the first straight like it is now then into a left hand 90 degree low berm (a lot used to go straight on), then a downhill straight to a massive drop off in the trees. Now that used to be fast!!
