Trying to find a motocross meeting I went to years ago

[burnsey85]

Hi I'm wonder if you could either help me find out the track I am looking for or point me in the direction I can find out what/where it is.

When I was a kid I used to go to alot of motocross meetings with my dad but one we ALWAYS used to go to was a weekend thing where alot of people camped and there was a fair (may have been a 3 day thing) I remember the track having about 5 (if not more) sheer drops only problem is I don't have a clue where it is in UK (obviously as a nipper I wouldnt really know where I was, being a strange place and all)

So was wondering if anyone could possibly tell me if they think they know what track it is or where I could possibly find out, I'm pretty sure it was a pro Motocross meeting and would have around 3000 spectators if not more attending. I would ask my Dad but unfortunately can't. I want to find out as I want to take my kids.

I know I don't really give alot of information but unfortunately this is all I can go with and google only goes so far ;-(

If anyone could help in anyway it would be appreciated

Thanks for reading and thanks for any help

What year would it be roughly - we don't know whether you were a kid in the 60's or the 90's? What time of year - summer holidays or xmas? Where did you live, and how long did it take to get there - all day, or under an hour?

Might help narrow it down a bit.

Going by username that'd make the OP mid twenties, so schoolboy MX in the late 90s. Location is down as Southampton, so I'd guess south of the Midlands.

No idea other than that.

As Gazdaman says that because of my username i am mid twenties, I think the last time that we went to the meting was around 1999-2000.

I was actually living in London at the time and to be honest wouldnt remember how long it took to get there/get back but would roughly say that I reckon no less than 2hrs, I would say it was spring/summer time but most of the time it would rain on these meetings (typical british weather eh)

It was also just adults racing no kids were involved and like I said
I am sorry that I don't have alot of information like I said I have tried to look online but havent been to a meeting since then so wouldnt have a clue where to find out

I would also say that I am pretty sure it was pro racers mainly so definitely a big meeting not just a sunday morning meet up and it was definitely an annual thing

On mud rather than sand? Weston beach race ticks all boxes so far.

Mud yeah, for some reason I have Swindon in my mind but don't know if there would be a big race meeting there or not especially the one I am thinking of

[burnsey85]

I think it may have been Foxhills motocross in Swindon (have been told this by someone else who thinks it may be this track) does it ring any bells with anyone?

Familiar?
