St Eval Sprint Championship

Background
St Eval has been the home of Newquay Auto Club's Sprint meetings for almost 50 years. The first Sprint meeting was held around 1954 and with only a few exceptions (foot and mouth precautions in 2001 was one) there have been competitions every year since.

Whilst our long-term future at St Eval looked somewhat tenuous due to possible building development on the sprint course, we are pleased to say that our use for 2007 (and hopefully beyond) looks reasonably safe.

The old airfield with its distinctive church serving as a landmark was an important RAF base in World War 2 and saw considerable action in its time. For those interested, the church contains some interesting memorabilia and history and is well worth a visit.
