Following the closure of Tamworth Stadium in 1961, would-be promoter Bill Morris acquired the defunct Hednesford circuit and ran a handful of so-called 'practice meetings' in 1962.

Bill Morris fully re-opened the circuit in April 1963 and from that point onwards the promotion of Stock Car and Hot Rod racing has been uninterrupted at the popular Staffordshire speed-bowl for over half a century.

It is even said that four times World Hot Rod champion Carl Boardley once got the quarter mile down to almost 12 seconds in unofficial practice, making Hednesford Europe's fastest quarter-mile oval.

Major events include the "National Championship Weekend", the "Crash Cavalcade", "Veterans Day" and the "Civil War" - the oldest head-to-head banger meeting in the country.

The Demons race team supplied a Car to Jeremy Clarkson a Ford Cortina for the Top Gear piece The 100th edition of Tiswas was broadcast live from Hednesford Raceway back in the Seventies.
