Wiggins Teape(spelling?)Camaro used to thunder round.
Loads of imps,escorts,mini marcos etc

Believe it stopped being used in 1992?

"Haste ye back again" used to appear on the back of the programme and on a sign as you left.

Thanks for the replys and links ,youtube clips and pics.

Looking at the close proximity of armco trees and the onlookers makes you realise how things have changed....i remember the smell (castrol R)from the posher well sponsored entrants and being able to mingle in the padock even while major repairs were being carried out.

Little white posters every 100 yards or so stating "Motor Sport Is Dangerous"

You could literally get showered with stones bits of rubber and spray if it was wet,like you did at a speedway event.

Happy Days smile
