Re: Baitings Dam and Oulton Park 1965.
Fantastic archive footage thanks for posting. Spent many Sunday's down at Baitings in the late 70's.
Does anybody know why the sprint finished? Presume it was a Yorkshire water decision on access. I walk down the hill ocasionally and the surface is now well passed it. Shame.

Not totally sure when Baitings finished, last competed there in about 92. I don't think it was still going at the end of the 90s. I remember talking about it with Harry Ratcliffe who thought it was a bit 'Mickey Mouse' just due to al the hairpins, which to be fair it was abit!

Never mind 'Mickey mouse', more 'popeye' when you had a Salsbury Lsd.Pete wrote:Not totally sure when Baitings finished, last competed there in about 92.
