Apparently North Weald airstrip have just announced the end of drag racing there due to noise complaints from residents -don't buy a house next to a dragstrip then! :( Title: Re: “Heritage Sprint” -Betteshanger Park, Kent -Sat 10th & Sun 11th Aug 2019 Post by: Tony oily bike on December 25, 2018, 11:32:08 AM Sounds interesting. Apparently North Weald airstrip have just announced the end of drag racing there due to noise complaints from residents -don't buy a house next to a dragstrip then! :( Mr Dslam & I know Tony Huck, the guy who runs/ran Test & Tune events at North Weald (basically twin lane ¼ mile stuff), and we’ve chatted a bit about this a while back. Have a read of what was in the Guardian back in May 2018, it’ll shed a little light on the subject. https://www.guardian-series.co.uk/news/16197443.north-weald-airfield-will-no-longer-host-drag-racing/ https://classicsworld.co.uk/news/north-weald-drag-strip-closes/ Disappearing motor-sport venues http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=16198.0 From May of 2018.
