Where I buy my fuel, Thruxton airfield, is in the middle of a race
track. In fact, like a lot of race tracks in the UK, it grew out of an
airfield perimeter track.

The airfield is closed on race days, but at least it's been kept as an
active airfield.

I've flown a Bulldog and a Chipmunk from Daytona.

If the airport is that close to the race track, then I'm sure everyone had
to be on a clearance and in ATC contact to land there during the race.

Glad our local NASCAR track is far from the local airports
