Reveal over the long weekend

This is hurting my head - I recognise quite a few but can't quite locate the necessary grey cells.

bump.

Can somebody worse than me have a go?  cheers

sent mine in and awaiting the reveal  looking forward to it.  Had part of my 40th bday party all day bender at one of the venues.

Sent, think Ive got five?

Has to be the dog track?

Think I got 3.   Knew two and one of my guesses was more educated than the others.

I only have six entries, was waiting for a reasonable number

Correct.   Had a race sponsored as well and presented the trophy and got on the dog podium in the presentation area pissed up for a picture and fell straight through it haha! 

Sending now....might have one  :D

ok will do the reveal shortly. Not as if i have much else on...

In. Know a couple, a few ideas and then an air-pluck or two.

Thanks for compiling this, Tighty.

That doesn't sound good as I've put Glammy as an answer but I'm positive I'm wrong and I live a few hundred yards from there.

I've seen tests at Sofia Gardens.

Or did the question say Current test ground?

Q4 Zandvoort in the Nertherlands, by the coast and the sand dunes

Was back on the calendar this year, mainly for Max Verstappen's fans and revenue opportunities

Most of these seem sensible, though the Baku (capital city street circuit) answer went to VAR. After a long delay it was ruled an acceptable guess. Would have been rubbish's second asterix

Which county cricket club plays here? was the question

I think i told the story before

the West Indies..Richards, the fast bowlers, Clive Loyd and all, played Essex at Stamford bridge the night after the Oval test match in 1980

Surrey were due to play but had reached the Lords final so graham gooch and team stepped in

I was 13. Friends dad took me and his son

Ran into Joel Garner in the corridor behind the executive boxes, he was so tall and the space so cramped he had to walk crouching along

the distance from the wicket to the big main stand which was square of the wicket was so small that i think every over saw severla sixes

Monmore dogs in Wolverhampton

I thought the Ladbrokes signs were a clue as i understand lot of these tracks are owned by bookies for afternoon shop fare and I knew that Ladbrokes were Crayford and Monmore. Or were

but a tough one for everyone bar arbboy i thought...expected local boy Tal to get it and indeed he slotted home from short range

well done rubbish.

Ripple, go stand in the corner and think about what you have done.

we had a late entry from soneone after the gun had gone

That person scored ZERO

ripple, i take it all back

nirvana, take his place in the corner

One more than I thought I would get.

I think you've done the Burnley one before and possibly the Stamford Bridge one.

Great quiz though.

Phew.... ;D

Haha thoguth I knew one. Won't say which one I thought I knew

Thanks both

I thought Bramhall Lane might be good and Thirsk/Catterick was a flip. 

knew itt wasn't chester as the stand wasn't big enough but looks a tight turn and the stand did look slightly like chester

Damn - although I did better than I thought I might. For the Leicester ground I saw the advert for Pedigree beer and went Midlands. Close!

I know my level -that was wayy too tough for me but I do have a story about Monmore.

Around 1996 I drove Manchester George to Monmore in his Roller(he'd lost his licence) when Mickey Wernick still had his old pitch there - I wasn't in on the coup but I think George left half of the bookies in the ring on that night as the next time I saw Mickey he asked me if I'd seen that George lately as he was in the book for a nice few quid.

enjoyed that tighty cheers.. spent many an afternoon at grace road so knew the cricket one well - even managed to guess a couple of others!

deffo In for the next one of these

Yeah enjoyed it too and would do again.   Go easy on the 3 pointers.  Hard to recover from that.

It seems they have raced there in the interim, but Zandvoort will always be associated with that crash in my head.  Funny how the mind works.  I was one of Senna's biggest fans, but I can still watch Imola without thinking of Senna, and can go to Valley Parade and not think of the fire every two minutes.  Despite this, bringing F1 back to Zandvoort still feels wrong somehow.   I can't really explain it, as it is clearly a bit illogical.

Cheers for running Tighty, I remembered the Stamford Bridge story well and got lucky on a couple of others. Definitely was only hoping to get 4/5 points so quite happy with 7.
