We went to Blidworth on Saturday night ( ) for the first time for about four months and was shocked at the number of “Boy Racers” that was there. We have not been frequent visitors for a while, and tend to go every 4/5 months or so. After being sat in one of the two remaining open car parks for a few minutes, it soon became obvious that the number of young people who was there outnumbered the doggers. In fact we counted about 4 or 5 genuine guys in cars, compared to 9 or 10 cars where some were full of young people, some of whom had torches. It occurred to us that maybe with the current credit crisis, that the local young people cannot afford to drink in pubs and see the car parks as areas to congregate with their friends !!
In the past there was the odd car or two of Boy Racers, but certainly Saturday there were in the majority. We felt uneasy as they screeched in and out of the car parks and thought that it is only a matter of time before the remaining car parks get closed. Needless to say it was impossible to get talking to anyone so we left.
In the future we will now arrange outdoor meets with guys, even though this takes the spontaneity from it, at least it will be safer.
Know exactly what you mean - stopped going there last year as nearly had my car wipe dout whilst it was parked up by some young racer trying a handbrake turn!!
If you ever plan anything anywhere give me a shout as always looking for the thrill without the idiots though!!
Such a shame, I've had lots of fun at Blidworth in the past, although last time I went the guys were a bit shy, but it's a good site! Hope the boy racers go away soon!

Like i said in the original post we have been to Blidworth for many years, every few months or so. But last Saturday just seemed to be full of boy racers !!!
What thrill they get out of annoying everybody is beyond me.
Thanks for the PM's about alternative venues, we'll give them a try.
