I've just come across the track Waller Field, an ex-WWII American Air filed in Trinidad and Tobago. It has since been closed by the local government, but does anyone have any further details about it, such as length, course....?

This is as close as I could get, cut into two overlapping halves for ease of uploading. You can just make out the edges of the track in the curves, the racing line, and the start/finish line across the track. It looks like the control tower is still there too.

Here is a diagram of the circuit giving the length as 1.6 km (1 mile):

Racing was still being held at the airfield in October 2006:

This must have been one of the last meetings, as this link shows an abandoned circuit in mid-2007:
