Our circuit is 109 feet long with very wide lane spacing and no tricky twists & turns to learn so you can just concentrate on some great racing on this ever popular circuit.
The braid recess is 0.7mm with a consistent power output.

Reads Avenue, Palatine Road & Hornby Road contain hundreds all within a mile from the club & just off the opposite side of Whitegate Drive from the club.
