Cornwall's last banger and stock car racing track lies in a small village. One by one such tracks are disappearing throughout the country as the subculture succumbs to a slow decline. For fifty years the track has been kept alive through love, devotion and community, but it now faces its toughest test: this book tells the story of the track as it faces demolition, a tourist attraction planned in its place. Regardless of its physical fate, the aim is to provide a home for the track, its stories, and its people, in what could be its final season.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
