Debden



A USAF/RAF airbase which was first used for a 750MC meeting on the 9th June 1962 on a 1.5 mile circuit. The 750MC held further events, but on the 27th June 1965 a competing car managed to spin through a fence and reach a public road. The RAC notified the 750MC that it would have to build a protective barrier before it would issue another permit, but the club felt that it could not afford it, and it envisaged problems with the RAF as the airbase was still operational. Besides, the surface was also breaking up, so the last race meeting was held on the 1st July 1965. It is still occasionally used for sprint events.
