How about putting the list in AB order so people can check easy.

Aintree is definetly open, I live about 10 miles away and go spectatcing with the little one a few times a year.

It's part of the old F1 course, and runs through a golf course, so is only open so many days a year for motorsport, as it's obviously a little dangerous to combine the two activities!! :)

yep and if you go 'off' you end up on the grand national 'Nag' track!!:eek:

[Ron Bones]

Hednesford Hills Raceway - They have Banger racing and Legends an stuff like that. Also there's Long Eaton Stadium, they did bangers too but theyre closed now an there's also Darley Moore, thats a bike only track.
