Anyone remember the go-kart track out the back of the Fox & Grapes pub at KIddal?

I know this is an old thread, but I'm interested in this subject myself as I went there when i was a kid in the 1960's and drove on the circuit in a Bultaco powered kartWhat do you remember of it ?I went and had a walk round it a few years ago, the old circuit is just visible stillNot sure when it was last used as I went on to to become involved in other motorsport

I dont know how I missed this thread previously, but I used to race around this track with a schoolfriend in 1964-65, it was fairly overgrown then but the track itself was in great condition. Just looked on Google and you can still the track outlinehttp://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=whinmoor&hl=en&ll=53.85052,-1.391948&spn=0.002044,0.00824&hnear=Whinmoor,+Barwick+In+Elmet,+Leeds,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=18&vpsrc=6

I'm sure this was talked about at length in a different older thread - search should find it.Grrrr, hate these long links that stretch the page way off the screen
