    I've Been Everywhere Man

    Spotted something elsewhere online and thought it could be adapted to here.


    People have been listing the various racetracks they have visited - either on a raceday or just when passing by.


    Perhaps our forum participants can share where they have been to the races - of any code. Remember you must have stood on the course, not just flown over it or driven past the gate!


    I'll kick it off with tracks I have been to - plus some of the "former" sites where they once went around. I think I have covered them all but have probably forgotten some!


    Will be interesting to see who is our widest travelled contributor!

    The old Richmond track was something else - can remember seeing it on Sky and would love to hunt down a video to bring it back to life!
