great thread, been to a few old tracks over the years and had the same ghostly feeling but I love thinking about what went on on them, I think 70's skateparks have a similar effect.
i must go down to the track at wetherby, i cycled down to wetherby and back on Monday (on the mountainbike) this week but didnt have time to go up to the track, bet it will be a weird feeling.heres a shot of phil carey, just before his mongoose got nicked.It will certainly be a wierd feeling, the place just isn't how your memory remembers it......................be warned On the subject of nicked bikes, do you remember the tale of Dan Jones's nicked pk ripper?Story went, as I heard it, that his gran was loaded and bought him the best(most expensive bike) you could get, I saw it, I remember the camo pads but didn't know much about rippers at the time, anyway, he had to 'lend' it to the hardest lad in the year at school who went into town on it and it was never seen again!!I think he said that he left it outside the arcade and when he came back it was gone!!! Dan couldn't say too much as he was one of the hardest lads in the school with a reputation!!That was the sort of hard-knock-life we led in Wetherby!!!!!!
