The sprint course at Curborough was formerly a small part of RAF Lichfield. Construction of the airfield began in 1939. On completion, 51 Maintenance Unit took up residence on 1st August 1940. After the War, a local farmer purchased the site from the Air Ministry, S&D.C.C. with a dream to create a sprint course, but lots of work was required to bring it up to standard.<br>
