[Time for a clear out]

a copy of wildbill to wildcat perchance?. I've never read it

[Sad News - Tim Warwick]

What terrible news. I've been fortunate to chat to him at Belle Vue on many occasions over the years. Always took the time to give me his witty perspective on numerous aspects of the sport. The guy was a legend for all the right reasons and will be sadly missed. RIP Tim, my condolences to his family.

 

[ODSAL Startrax Updates...]

thanks for the updates. I'm sure there used to be a granstand on either side (on the front and back straights) Is it my age, or is one missing now? (1st pic in last post; there was one on the right IIRC)

[Roy's Off Season Write-Ups]

Thanks Roy, living in Urmston. i travel across the lower viaduct whenever i go into Manchester, the train always has a halt which allows plenty of time to admire the ironwork!.

i wish you'd taught history at my school... i may have passed it if you had!!

[Wreckfest PS4 F1 league]

thanks Wrinkle mate; will look out for that

[Wreckfest PS4 F1 league]

I don't have facebook, but I've recently (yesterday) got a PS4. as a total newbie; how do I get going on this? is it based on an existing downloadable game?

apologies if my questions seem puerile; it's because they are

[BriSCA F1 #415 racing team updates]

[On This Day - 16th June 1982]

#20 looks like the chissy WF car. is it?

[Roy's Off Season Write-Ups]

If it's cold; could be Buxton mid-summer.!

[Roy's Off Season Write-Ups]

I'm going to clap for Roy this Thursday in recognition of his efforts keeping us sane.

[Roy's Off Season Write-Ups]

thanks once more Roy. keep `em coming, especially in these bleak times. 

[Roy's Off Season Write-Ups]

Thanks Roy, I currently own my 2nd TVR and was fortunate to visit the factory in probably its busiest period in the early `90's. They had the Chimera protoype being built; it was top secret so they told us not to take photos of it! that's it! no signing disclosure agreements or anything. Peter Wheeler was at the helm back then; a giant lanky framed bloke with a keen eye for vehicle design and seemingly keener one for recruiting supermodels as staff there!

[Will Yarrow Racing]

Thanks Carole;  can you tell me why the superstu car was at the workshop?I assume its still the original still owned by Peter?

[SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - SATURDAY 4TH APRIL @ 6PM]

Slightly O/T (forgive me) on what platform does uk dirt operate*? is it via a gaming console or PC*? looks very good; somehow it's passed me by. maybe `cos I have more time on my hands of late for some reason...………..?

I took a look on the website, but the answers to my questions are not obvious (to me anyhow)

any info, what controllers are used (I can't drive with a key pad!) , how easy it is to set up etc appreciated

*thanks in anticipation

[Roy's Off Season Write-Ups]

please continue Roy; hopefully someone will get the galleries working so you can load the pics up too.

PS; stay safe everyone.

[Roy's Off Season Write-Ups]

Thanks Roy- most amusing !

[Birmingham Gala Meeting Results - 16th November 2019]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jeez. hope all are ok.

[Stoke - Saturday 2nd November 2019]

I was fortunate enough to attend yesterdays final banger meeting. All banger classes were epic and very entertaining. (Oh, and I got there an hour before start time and there were plenty of places to stand.)

I'm unable to attend this Saturdays meeting so I bade it my farewells and wished Reesy the very bestest, thanking him for his efforts over the years.

Now its your turn folks.

enjoy responsibly. when its gone its gone...…...... RIP Stoke speedway

[Belle Vue - Monday 22nd April 2019 - BOSS Round 2]

Come on...let's have some more F1s...not only is this a celebration year, but could (sadly) see the demise of the great "Belle Vue" era.

I hope there may be a big celebration event later in the season at the 'Vue???

The banger fraternity have certainly responded. theres an unlimited meeting later this year with a great entry already.

 

PS- Great to see Sir John back out

[Nelson - Saturday 8th July]

That'd likely be her; Unless the results are my uncles (who also raced #70)

she was MPP ladies champion at least once, with an article in the local rag about her successes.

The mini cooper S was built by Alan Reece (another ex-F1 driver #208?) but he didn't like it and sold it to my uncle who I think got to blue top with it. The engine & box from it ended up in my road car in 1981 for terrifying local fast fords from the traffic lights.

[Nelson - Saturday 8th July]

The pic is DEFINITELY White City, photo taken looking toward scoreboard end- the pits entrance was behind this corner- the only one without a grandstand. The car was raced by Keith Steward (any relation to Harry Steward ?) #100 / #170. which was seriously underpowered compared to the F1's and wasn't that competitive in the Hell Drivers. Keith Riley #323 (related to John I think) had a "sawn off" Jaguar (the black widow) which was seriously quick compared to most other racers in the Hell Driver class.

 

my Auntie (Audrey Pollitt #70) regularly won ladies races in those days-racing my uncles Mini - often up against Rovers & Jags.
