THE KEN GIBBS VETERANS DAY: COMING TO HEDNESFORD HILLS THIS AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY SUNDAY...
"Hednesford Hills Raceway is one of the most loved circuits in the UK when it comes to Stock Car, Hot Rod and Banger racing; and has over 60 years of motorsport history, with the speeds many cars achieve around its fearsome banked turns really having to be seen to be believed!
There really is nothing like an afternoon at the Raceway, standby for high-octane, thrill-packed racing from different classes of racing - with something for the whole family. Bring the kids - and big kids - for extreme entertainment like nothing else.
Get up-close-and-personal and see the whole track in front of you, meaning you can follow your favourite driver as they frantically race around the tarmac oval.
Thrills and spills are part and parcel of oval motorsport, and the track has held countless races since it’s opening in the mid-20th Century, with thousands of people experiencing the world of oval motorsport. Since the 1950s, Hednesford has provided stunning racing and great entertainment from Stock Cars, Hot Rods and Bangers in equal measure with a huge variety of other attractions in between.
The circuit was built in 1952 utilising the site of a former reservoir. The track is a full quarter mile length oval, with two banked corners, and a tarmac track surface surrounded by an armco safety fence.
With the track built at the base of the reservoir, it has the advantage of being at the bottom of a large ""bowl"" and means that viewing is superb all around the track from its grass banks and two covered grandstands, it really is a great day out for all the family. The whole track is in front of your very eyes - so you won't miss any of the action.
The track is situated high on Cannock Chase just one mile from the town of Hednesford in Staffordshire, and is easily accessible from the M6, M6 Toll and A5.
