Stretton Airstrip (Appleton Thorn)

[Bmxncars]

Hey everyone, I was wondering if the airstrip in Appleton Thorn is used for drag racing or is it just abandoned. Would love to have Cars and Coffee Cheshire have some drag racing there as it looks like a great strip. If anyone has any info please reply to the topic Thanks!

Yes but that was a while ago, looking for fresh information Really wanting to bring a few supercars there.

Why not do a Land Registry search, find out who owns it and ask them?

When I last heard an application had been made for a new access road to the strip which had been refused by the council (oddly the guy who applied doesn't even own the airstrip - it's currently owned by Shell and is up for sale).

Have you walked the air strip? Up at the top end the surface is in a bad way. Tarmac has been pored on top of the original surface and is now broken up, leaving lots of lose gravel.
