We used to use their ballroom for the indoor racing and there was even an outdoor track, this was located at the far end of a sports field which was surrounded by a large scale model railway track.
I had a look on Google earth recently to see if it is not……
I believe the club folded sometime in the mid nineties

There are still a few of us around down here that used to race at Westlands.
Indoors was the highlight of the year especially the section on the stage in front of the rostrum. PB Mini Mustang, MIH pushed 1200 mah cells and a Trinity 16 single motor. How they counted the laps manually doesn't bare thinking about.
Good old days
