Thanks for the info, Boston can be a problem midweek the sooner a by pass built the better!

I'm sure there will be one later in the week. I have to work Thurdsay and Saturday morning, so I might not get there Thursday and Saturday is going to be a bit of a push, 1066, are the traffic lights lights still out of action going into Boston? It held me up a while last time I went to Skeggy and if they are still causing a hold ups I'll try and find a way around them

Warneton photos now added. Including some Sprint cars and Camso V8 late model stock cars. The Sprint cars went realy well around Warneton, a big improvement since I last saw them. Could do with a few more cars. It would be good to see how some of our lads go in the cars. The Camso V8s put on a great show. Plenty of side by side racing and plenty of passing even though the drivers had to work for it. As Dr Dick Bergrenn once said, passing shouldn't be easy, but it shouldn't be impossible. It was proper American Style racing, and to be honest a lot better than I have seen on many American pavement tracks. F1s were fast and the drivers who went put on a great show. Well done for FWJ, Danny Wainman, Chris Fort and Mark Gilbank for doing the overnight dash from Coventry. Jessie de Bruyn looked impressive in the f1s, I'm told he is 16 years old. Seesm like the dutch have some good young drivers coming through the same as we do. which is good for the future. Photos selected and added listening to the follwing cds: Cowboy Songs - Michael Martin Murphey Passion & Warefar - Stevie Vai American Fool - John Mellencamp

Sometimes you have to try things to see if they work, No harm in trying and I do think the races will be hectic. i must admit i would love to see some marker tyres just off the racing surface. 1) to cut out corner cutting and infield racing 2) marker tyres, etc have always been a source of action

updated again!!! Just found a couple of photos from Scota World final 1975 or 76. At Wimbledon. Photos are not very good to say the least, but photos 1) Jan Coenen - I notice there is a Jack Coenen booked in for Warneton on Sunday.. Any of our Dutch friends know if the 2 drivers are related? 2) Rien Rutjens (15) and 3 other dutch drivers including Lambert Keulen (104) This was Rien's first visit to the Uk to race Any info on the other drivers (6) painted same clours at Rutjens and (84) would be most welcome. Apologies for the AUTOMATICALLY DELETED WORD (If you can't express yourself without swearing, please don't post!) photos but thought historical interest made up for it!

Just started a new Gallery with some Golden Oldies photos, only a few on there at the moment but will add a few as and when. Most of these photos are from around 1970/71 - not sure exactly though Photos added include a photo of Doug Cronshaw's potent mix pre Candy Colours. Photo taken at Brafield, Not sure if this was the first time he raced this car but he rolled it at the meeting. Also photo of me sitting in Peter Guinchard's car, that is ex f2 world Champ Ron Innocent standing next to the car. Dennis Irving 363 in the "Copper kettle" Think this car was an ex Jim Potter (146) car, and I'm sure that ex BSCDA Chairman Terry Gill (29) raced it after Dennis Engine Builder Mike Huddart (14) at Hednesford Hills Raceway, Photos added while listening to Nostalgia - Buzzcocks

Birmingham Wheels Admission + Drivers List
Colin C replied to pauln's topic in Essential Information
I don't think there is many saving cars for next week as most rend to have a shale and tarmac car. I would think that 1, 391 would be there, with possible a couple more additions. But Birmingham has had some of the best F1 action in recent years, and what;s more it looks like the sun will shine at Birmingham for the first time this year!! -
