A Rich History Dating Back to the 1970s
Buxton Raceway, originally known as “High Edge,” has a rich history dating back to the early 1970s. Former promoter Dave Pierce stated that racing began in 1974, though some drivers recall events as early as 1972 or 1973.
In its early days, the track was little more than a field with large tyres marking the boundaries. Over time, it has evolved into the well-established venue it is today.
