Anybody got any info on this please? I know it's still there, as sorts, but heard it might be getting re-done.

This was the local track to us guys from Bognor Regis. There was also a small shop not too far from the track and looking to see if that is still there too. Going to do a fly-by soon and wondered if it was worth adding this to the list and getting some pics $:-\$

Any info is good please,

Cheers

God we used to race regionals there, horrible track, as stoney as hell and just as windy! Flat as a pancake and hardly any jumps! Oh and don't forget the two uphill straights, usually against the wind!

Good times though!

Hahahahaha you know it so well

It did have a tabletop though, sort of

Many a cut hands and knees on those damned stones though and the stink off the river was horrendous on hot days with the tide out

But, all good happy days there

That was probably the bodies of dead riders!

Adur Aces - legendary

There were some posts on Rad a while back and over on BMX talk where one of the lads there was in talks with the council. Here's the link - his email is in the thread on BMX Talk
