Racing Venues

[triffid]

Ok, I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to geography and where things are and I'm too lazy to do a search on internet, thought it would be better if I asked on here and then the info is here for everyone.
So, where are the racing venues close to? I have been to Knock Hill (years ago when scooter racing did go there accasionally - I even marshalled one meet but it was so misty that I've no real photos that I can post that would be of much use) and I went to Anglsey last August so I know where they are.
I'd ike to get to at least one meet this year before we head north but I haven't a clue where these places are. Can someone put up a list of where the tracks are near to?

I know Cadwell Park up in Lincolnshire , which is just shy of 3 hours drive through smelly cabbage county ;D .

maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=cadwell+park&sll=52.872445,-0.939331&sspn=1.329538,3.477173&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Cadwell+Park,+Louth,+Lincolnshire,+United+Kingdom&ll=53.22248,-0.889893&spn=1.318785,3.477173&z=8&iwloc=A

And Mallory Park near Leicester (M1, Junction 21a) about 1 hour away.

maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=LE9+7QE&sll=52.645563,-1.260681&sspn=0.334125,0.869293&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Leicester+LE9+7QE,+United+Kingdom&ll=52.633063,-1.71936&spn=1.336863,3.477173&z=8

Both I can recommend, Mallory better for Midlanders offers views over almost the whole track, Cadwell for the Northerners, a very spectacular track.
Sprint Racing at Santa Pod, which is only 20min away (always worth a visit for their other events, too).

But you'd rather get the postcodes from the track websites and the route/distance with maps.google.co.uk, etc.

The official bsso race at Three Sisters is now off.. its been replaced by Anglesey. There may be an non championship round there tho.

[teamwoodspeed52]

Tony we have another round at 3 sisters later in the year (october)with the preston club which will be our final meeting and will be a championship round.
This gives us 7 rounds.

[scooteristforever]

is the 3 sisters meet the weekend after cadwell....(sep / oct)
do you know how many smallframes will be racing this season.??
hoping to get to a couple of meetings to spectate this year....
wish i had the funds the scoot and the KNACKERS to give racing a whirl.... best of luck to all of you that "have and do".... ;D ;D ;D

No donnington park this year?

[tony]

thats new john.. I wont be racing at that crap place. Joke track.

Ben, this is the sad state of donington

[sugarlump]

I was looking at mallory on google maps and it looks a bit errr, round, i think i was spoilt visiting donny park last year!

It doesn't look too bad tony, most of the roads round my way are like that

May come up to mallory if i'm off work,,,

[tony]

yeah its not as nice as donny (was) or cadwell.. but its very very quick.. considering it has a first gear hairpin and 2nd gear chicane the average lap speed is still 73mph for a scooter.
Gerrards is virtually flat out.. here's a story of a race at mallory last year (unashamed plug of website )
