It is with regret that I now have to inform the UK drag racing community that after 44 years as an operational drag strip there will be no more racing activities taking place at Long Marston Airfield's Shakespeare County Raceway. The owners of Long Marston Airfield along with the raceway's track marshals/officials/staff would like to thank everyone who over the years has supported the track since its very first national drag meet in 1973. Furthermore we would like to wish all the racers and fans every success for the future.

If anyone (racers, crews and supporters) still have caravans or trailers stored on site can we respectively ask that these be removed from the airfield's caravan storage compound by the end of the May. Removal of caravan's can be made during any week day between the hours of 9.00 am and 6.00 pm or Saturday's between 9.00 am to 1.00pm. The airfield is closed on Sunday's. Prior arrangement and pick up details must be made before hand by calling Kenny on 07595 412482 or myself on 07595 411079.

It's been a pleasure knowing everyone in my twelve or so years looking after the raceway's interests, calling the races over the pa and organising some great events. See you somewhere at a strip of tarmac real soon.
