Mussel Bay

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away

Mussel Bay Raceway began life in mid 2003 and was initially housed in a small industrial unit in North Lynn. The original track (pictured) could trace its origins back to the mid 60s and was a combination of parts of the original Presto Park circuit from Norwich plus some bits of the old March Mustang track.
After a few months the club moved to the top floor of the old Zetor Tractors offices just next to Bespak. This was an ideal home for the club as it boasted enough room for the main track plus a small rally track, a car preparation area and a kitchen!

A massive rent increase towards the end of 2004 meant it was no longer affordable and the club was obliged to move. Fortunately a room was secured at the London Road Conservative Club where we continue to play with toy plastic cars to this day. The room was not big enough to house the original wooden track which, sadly, had to be destroyed.
Scalextric plexytrack was used for a couple of years but this was not totally satisfactory so, at the end of 2007, we decided to build a new sectional wooden track. Club members contributed to the initial cost and it was completed in April 2008.
