yh but its £40 a day n you have to wait around for all the other classes 2 race

They're so hard to find, there was a place near me that was £5 a day, was great massive steep banks and alsorts. I used to go every sunday but it closed and so I sold my bike... was fun while it lasted, the tracks are much better than riding around on the road like yobs. Where I work they ride past all the time without helmets on, gotta watch it, if they crash into you they aint got no insurance.

n by the way i spose i could be labeled a yobbo but i never go on the roads and at least were a helmet gloves and boots (atleast)
were i am theres a beach no one at all goes on used to go up there n set up little races untill some body reported us n police came even they had no problem with us just dont wana get caught n loose my bike as ive spent a small fortune on it

[danrock101]

it was in Nottinghamshire, We called it Watnall Brickyard, I'm not sure if it's still going the Police made them close it because someone fell off their bike and wasn't wearing a helmet in a weekday when they're closed. But more likely I think the guy running it was running it dodgy, IE he owned the land and started charging people £5 to use it.

right mate i used to be really into motocross before i got minis and there is a really good track at caister not far past louth, there is one near binbrook, there is one near the belmont tower thingy (massive tv mast with red lights on the side) there is armthorpe at doncaster and also finnigly near doncaster and beleive there is one scunthorpe way on nowadays but there is plenty of places to ride. i used to race at the beach abit aswell but would say its not worth the money it is really good fun but they have had 2 meetings so far this year and is not worth the money most practice tracks where £25 when i was riding but they may be £30 by now but its well worth that mate you get lots of riding. search google for eastcoast motocross there is a race series run by the owners of caister track really nice people i did this the first year it was run and wish i could do it again but no funds to do it now with the minis if you want any more info mate just ask i know quite alot locally for motocross
