I decided to go over to York Raceway on Sunday for a day of drag racing. Converted from the old RAF Melbourne and known for a while as New York Raceway, it felt like stepping back into the 1970s. There were no fancy facilities - some armco barriers to keep you away from the runway in use as a race track, while viewing facilities were rickety wooden grandstand. Race control was just an old control tower and all of the roadways in use were either the original runways, or the perimeter roads. Even driving onto the site was along pot-holed concrete roads and parking was on one of the old runways, between the new plantlife.
I know there are a lot of circuits out there which have still got their original charms, but most have got updated facilities and sneaking appearances of catch fencing etc. Which other active circuits, in Britain or across the world, still feel like they did in the 1970s and give that real retro feel?
