Hi everyone,

I've just been thinking (I know) what your opinions would be of starting a campaign to protect our race tracks under the National Heritage Scheme of Listed Buildings, They do it with buildings some of which are far younger than some of our tracks, but if an argument was put together on the historic value of many of our race tracks then perhaps it would be a way of protecting race circuits in the UK, look at what happened to Oran Park, Australia earlier this year, In the UK we are already looking at an uncertain future for Donington, many tracks like Croft, Mallory, Oulton only have X amount of noisy days (105db) available in a year..... so what are the next restrictions......

So at the moment just a thought but from little acorns..........

appreciate your comments

Cheers

John
