Hi guys,
       Recieved some photos of the Preston track today off Shaun (Calvert) he took on this week.
       Eddy, the layout of the track is a U inside a U.
       Andi, There are monthly meetings held at the Bridge Inn (London Road) regarding the track and the club thats been set up. I went to the first meeting but not been able to get to any more since. I'll ask Shaun when the next one is if you fancy coming.
