It operates as an independent flapping track, running sprints over 260 metres, standard races over 440 metres, distance races over 580 metres and extended races over 800 metres.

This section gives a comprehensive picture of the badges produced by the track throughout the ages, but only provides the briefest of glimpses of its history. For those wishing to undertake further research we can recommend a visit to
