I remember racing there a few times...I'm sure you had to drive between a couple of barns or through a gate next to them (some sort f farmyard type set up anyway) to get to the track area.  Be cool to see whats there.  Although, I'm guessing its ploughed farmland or has been built on since.

found it.....its now a garden centre  :( :(

In the 1950s, the owners of a 10 acre farm started to sell fruit and eggs from the brick building at the front by the road side. The local people started to call it 'Jacks Wood' and the name stuck until the 1990s when it was bought by Wyevale Garden Centres.
A lot has changed since then, and not just the name. Because we want you to see our lovely plants first, we've built a new entrance and adjacent car park. We have a range of beautiful plants that our new plants team are really proud of.
