Yep - it's great. Keep you're eye on the local press cos they also have sprints and other stuff on their little oval circuit.

i have to say for the size of the place its utterly fantastic, seems to be run by genuine enthusiasts and draws in engine based, and i say that as anything that moves with an engine tends to gather there. From vintage steam to modern day monsters. I have 3 kids and we must have been over a dozen times last year and never bored. The supercar day was awesome in the summer.


Relative to population there is a very high number of rare and exotic cars in the area. Oil wealth i suppose but there is a real sense of motoring heritage there.
