With the sad closure of the Arena Essex Raceway imminent, I caught up with drivers and officials ahead of the final meeting to find out their favorite memories of the track. Furthermore, with other tracks such as Coventry and London’s Wimbledon Stadium also closing down over the last few years, I also discussed what sort of impact the closure of Arena Essex will have on the future of stock car racing, for both drivers and race officials who have gone to the track for many years.
