Post by: baldbmxer on July 20, 2007, 01:06 PM: I raced at a park, the track was in a kind of an old shallow quary, with big tall popular trees between in and the river.

Was that Cantley Park?

I have pics somewhere in me mams big photo archives!

One flat track in Cantley Park (Bessaccar Buccaneers I think and and other with the massive start hill was known as Don Raceway in Hexthorpe park ( I think it was called)

Post by: dwain dibbly on July 20, 2007, 08:36 PM: love the cantley park pic ;D ;D
your right it was the Bessaccar Buccaneers track
i was a member from the start and helped build the track
that pic must have been about 84/85.
as they redesigned the track after that.
i always loved its first incarnation.
it has long since gone and is now a field :-[ :-[
got any more pics of cantley??
and your right the other is indeed hexthorpe track.
it is still there but totally different now
