A shame - Much better than the Pod in many ways (except the track which was sort of the point). Oh well. I'm sure there will be lots of unafordable housing built on the site and it will give the locals something differant to moan about! |

I am not the worlds biggest fan of Pod, but the facilities are all better than anything at Avon Park (will always be Avon Park to me, not Shakespeare County or whatever they re named it). I have had some great memorable weekends at Avon Park, but this was always due to the crowd of people I was there with.

Agreed! Showdown ruled! If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

A sad sign of the times where all the arseholes in the world do their best to prevent people enjoying themselves in their cars.

More like a developer offered them a silly amount of money. Judging by how run-down it had got, it wasn't making any money.

Count me in. Shakey is my 'home' track and I will mourn it's passing. The Pod will entail setting up to flat tow the car there rather than driving it. 'Where does the engine go?' |

agreed; no matter how much of a passion it would have been for someone to run the place, business is business and probably a nice retirement fund coming from it
