Some of the locals were well hacked off at Elvington that the Nimby's won, they liked the fact F1 cars used the venue. There are a good few other local airfield venues that were used for clubby stuff but the land owners won't allow access as they just don't want the hassle. On the other side of the coin I wonder what would happen if some locals wrote to the council asking for more use to be made of the local circuit!!  In other countries a local circuit is often seen as something to have pride in, attracting business and visitors to the area. Ray. |
Incendiary comments follow ;-)
Interestingly when Heathrow want to build another run way they don't give a stuff about the locals both in terms of noise and emissions pollution as well as uprooting whole communities from their homes. I wonder how many of the local inhabitants to Castle Coombe user airporrts to go on holiday and drive gas guzzlers to the supermarket....I could go on :-)))) I think it's called freedom and democracy ;-)
