EARLS BARTON

Northampton

Obscure, little-used stadium that had a shale  speedway and dog track as well as a concerete one for karts.

No stock cars in these shots but they give you an impression of the stadium and it's remains. Does anyone remember spectating or racing here? Email us if you do.

Back To Defunct Stock Car Tracks

 

Karting at Earls Barton. Looking at the karts you would say mid 1960s perhaps? The rustic nature of the track suggests it's been there a while and you can just make out the dog/speedway track in the background

The concrete base of the old grandstand as it was in February 2010
