Do you know where this track is?

[Big Daddy]

There is a discussion on the BMW CCA Puget Sound website regarding this old racetrack and where it is. A member posted these and I assume will provide an answer in the future. They are really cool photos and the banking on this is awesome.

Wow, that banking is incredible!

If you find out where this is at, let us know!

 

[MrElussive]

Let's buy it and restore it and make it into the official BMWBoard racetrack. [headbang]

Wow. Cool! Gotta be in the West/Soutwest with that kind of vegetation. I'd rule out the whole Eastern US...assuming it's in the US. Guy in the picture looks like a good taxpaying American with a CO beer shirt.


Guess #1 = Texas
Guess #2 = New Mexico

What a waste to let something like that go...

Wouldn't it be nice if it is in WA. State Dan!?

 

[bahnstormer]

lol

that's not in the usa

I believe that is in Italy just outside of Rome, the Romans used to race chariots on it.

 

[AZRobert]

Maybe an abandoned NASCAR track like Rockingham or Wilksboro??

I think I know where it is... A very historic track indeed... Is that you Big Daddy in the M Roadster?

If you look closely at the picture you'll see some clues...

If it's where I think it is, you'll have to have REALLY deep pockets and compete with Daimler-Chrylser.

Ah-Ha. By the looks of the steering wheel and the license plate, I am betting that this man is having a jolly good time. Or he might be ready to have a Fosters with his mate

 

[Big Daddy]

No it's not me Kirby, but your on the right "track".

 

[Big Daddy]

Here is the answer, I am sure Kirby had it

Sitges

 

[Average Jae]

[Wadula]

No it's not me Kirby, but your on the right "track".

Dan, I was on the right side of the pond, but the wrong country! I was guessing that it was Brooklands in Surrey, England. It's amazing how much these two tracks look alike.

There is a huge effort to save what is left of the Brooklands, headed by the infamous Stirling Moss. Daimler Chysler UK has announced that they will invest a ton of money in a museum.

It's a big club destination, rally point, etc.
