Motorsport back at Crystal Palace?
Did I miss a memo? Or is this new news now?

I'm pretty sure it will happen and I shall certainly be there. I used to go to loads of meetings right up until it stopped as it was the nearest track to me after Brands.

Unfortunately its not the complete circuit Terry as that will never happen, its only a part of it for a sprint, although its at least something

Crystal Palace 2010
I should have been competing in the last 7Oaks sprint at the Palace, but I broke my foot 2 days before the event, so I was gutted. I even appeared in the programme.
7Oaks CC have done so much to promote this event and moved heaven and earth so I really hope that they can get it sorted. I used to deal with The Palace when I worked for Local Authority many years ago. I was just gutted that I wasn't able to compete on it when it was still a proper race track. I will certainly be there supporting it. Pray God that the NIMBY's don't ruin it's chances. |

Was there racing (or should that be sprinting?) in 98 and 99 (from memory - was it really 10 years ago?), and I can't wait! Was a lovely atmosphere, and some amazing oddities in the paddocks!

I competed there twice in a Ginetta - great event with huge crowds. Despite being roadgoing I was put in modified alongside Gerry Marshall. Really hope Sevenoaks are able to put an evnt there on again. It won't be for want of trying.
