The venue is run by Barry Moore and former world motocross champion, Dave Thorpe, Back in March they hired renowned track builder Johnny Douglas-Hamilton to redesign the circuit which, apart from the start, now runs in the opposite direction and includes more jumps. Over the last month a lot of fresh soil has been laid on the track.
