I had always thought it was at Brands.  It used to be a motor cycle track initially until the decision was made by the owners back then to 'permit' those with 4 wheels to use their track.

Lmj19, Then he probably knew my Father, as he used to race bikes there at that time!  He raced there up until I arrived, when he sold his bike and bought a car, a Standard 8 which cost 100 pounds.  He got over 100 when he sold it in the early 50's, but his real love was bikes.  My son now races his bikes there...
