    Angry Layham's Farm to Close

    Just found out that Layhams farm is to close
    I have to say i am quite upset at this news.

    http://www.croydonmotorsports.co.uk/

    I raced there for a quite a few years in the mid 90's and had lots of cheap Fun and good memory's. Always said that i would return there one day with a 2.0 super saloon Hot Rod, so much so that i already have a starlet shell and lots of bits ready to build it.

    whilst i do feel sad about the closure of Layham's farm closing... i can't help but feel that if i was fortunate enough to still have my old escort it would probably be a fair bit safer in the garage!

    I thought the same mark but tbh the dodgy people arent gonna move just because the tracks shut they will just flatbed the cars to the next track, and spy new cars to take from that area instead!

    Not suggesting that all hotrodders/bangers are thieving pikeys before i get flamed!

    Just a few pics of me when i raced there
    Mainly used Mini's, but also did the odd Banger race or two
    Never used escort's ( to good to smash up )

    its a shame because they had done alot of work recently to turn it into a very quick track, one less track for me to race at this season
