If your unsure about large commercial tracks, there are smaller tracks (race circuits) around the country.
Pembrey race circuit is a very popular track located in south west Wales.
The 1.45 mile circuit is built on an old airfield near Swansea. Although geographically it may be a little remote for some, it is well worth a visit.
The circuit is very flat, and it can be difficult to orientate yourself because of the lack of reference points. The long Park Straight has a kink, and shortly afterwards heavy braking must be applied for the extremely tight Hatchetts hairpin.
A short squirt takes you to Spitfires, a straight forward right-hander, and then to Dibeni, a faster left. It is difficult to pick up the turn-in point for Paddock because the circuit is wide and flat here, and on the exit you must get to the left hand side of the track for the equally difficult-to-spot Esses. brooklands is a slow right-hander, and it is important to carry lots of exit speed onto the Speedway straight
Depending on the weather, the accerleration potential of your vehicle and the grip available, Woodlands may or may not be a flat-out kink, but it is important to be accurate because of the speeds involved. It is important to get through the fast Honda Curve well, in order to carry as much speed as possible onto the never-ending Park Straight.
Motorcycle track days are regular at Pembrey, Phil Bevan is the regular organiser and holds track days quite often.

I saw this for sale http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Matte-Black-Track-Road-Courier-Bike-Dual-Hub-60cm-Frame_W0QQitemZ300316743550QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Bikes_GL?hash=item45ec45d77e&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1688|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50
But how good value is it?
*answer*
You are totally correct, these look great
I've got one of these fixies from Ebay and use it nearly everyday of the week, sometimes interchanging between this and a racer i've got.
Regarding quality, firstly the frame quality is pretty good and v-rim wheels are nice and give a smooth ride over bumpy roads in London. Crank is pretty good quality i think its a Sugino messenger type (looks like one) although not specified in website. I did have to modify it a bit and replaced the handlebars, pedals, saddle, rim tape (coz i got puncture re inside tyres). Brakes are not great so you might have to change for better ones.
For the money its great value bike, i haven't had problems with it yet and its eye candy for other cyclists to admire.
New bike path is on fast track
Federal stimulus money was earmarked more than a year ago for a 2.5 mile-long bike path through the west side of Flint.
Thanks for visiting!
