Nope - I was a bit young for that but I do remember hearing when I was a teenager back in the 80's that there used be a Go Kart track in Keelcoil in Breaffy. So myself and a few friends after consulting with one of the mothers went looking for it and indeed found traces of the tarmacadam still there - in a field owned by Micky Barrett across from Walshes/Lavins/ Jordan's houses down the road to Keelcoil on the right hand side.
Apparently it was quite a popular venue in the 60's and even attracted such luminaries as Dickie "Spit on me Dickie" Rock.
