I've recently come to known that one of my local oval tracks is up for sale...
Warneton Speedway at Warneton-Waasten (CAMSO)
www.activo.be/nl/te-koop/industriegrond/onbebouwde-industriegrond/p17075-chemin-lutun-10-7784-waasten
I've come to this track since i was young with my parents and friends who runs a team of banger cars there (Wolf Team, recognisable by their white cars)... But with the Pandemic an economic recession.. it has come to this that the track has come up for sale...
It's not the first time i've seen a track disappear: a long time ago (20 years.. gee.. already that long ago?) A much closer circuit near me.. Circuit Ruisbroek had to close due to the expanding port activities.. the government promised a new spot for the track... they never gave a new spot and the grounds... are still unused and parts of the track can still be found... They held a special event for the closure: Ruisbroek 2001: the final countdown www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDZ7AlFrHGY
I hope there might be a solution or.. perhaps a new owner that could maintain the track.. because losing something from your childhood... is heartbreaking...
