Location

Brafield is about 4 miles (6.4 km) south-east of Northampton, in the shire county of Northamptonshire[3] known as "Northants" along the A428 road about 16 miles (26 km) north-west of Bedford.

Brafield Stadium

Brafield Stadium known as Northampton International Raceway hosts BriSCA Formula 1 Stock Cars. As early as 1949, local entrepreneurs staged midget car racing at the stadium, as part of a national attempt to introduce the sport from the US. It also hosted speedway. The team known as the Flying Foxes took part in the Southern Area League in 1954. The team was renamed the Brafield Badgers and interspersed individual meetings with matches against reserve sides from British League tracks. The Speedway closed for good at the end of the 1967 season.

gollark: All those using skynet must update or else. I have made a new version including:* one websocket for all channels, which is probably better* a different protocol (contact me for instructions on out-of-game use)* a slightly different API - shouldn't really be noticeable* actual handling of the server failingand it's backwards-incompatible, so like I said, update or else.
gollark: At least it doesn't use proof of stake or something!
gollark: You can trade for krist, but not well.
gollark: The protocol is fairly simple: open websocket to `wss://osmarks.tk/skynet/connect/[channel name]` and send/receive JSON.
gollark: It can connect to out of Minecraft stuff, yes.
