  1. Top work by Jonathan, Jordan and the entire BSCDA PR team during this period of inactivity trackside. Very much appreciated.
  2. Brilliant. Can't wait to hear what Sir Rob has to say.
  3. Neil sums it up very well for me. The BSCDA promotional team have been brilliant during the lockdown period, keeping fans engaged by various means. The interviews have been a treat, and Stuart's anecdotes and delivery are very entertaining!
  4. Brilliant interview with a brilliant stock car driver. So many great memories of Kev in his heyday. Went to a Hartlepool WCQR in the early 90s, 24 cars all in, and Kev rifled most of them into the Museum Bend or Pit Bend wires! One night at LE, even prompted an "Oi, driver!" from Burnsy after hitting 471 hard! On an SCM video, Phil Smith (109) was being interviewed by either Rob Hughes or Paul Butler (or Frans van Soest!) and Kev came into shot clutching a programme, asking Phil for his autograph......which Phil actually signed, and Kev skipped off like an excited fan! Always looked after my Dad and I after my dad bought a car off him. Top man. Top driver. Top Family.
  5. I loved that! Cracking interview (as always), and fair play to Ian for daring to stick Burnsy in the fence, not many had the guts to do that! Can't blame them really, can you?! Steve Houghton's quote is ace though!!
  6. It's back!! It's back!! Odsal is back!! What a track! It'll be great to see the 'mecca' again, and imagine Odsal stalwarts like Charles Pickering, Andy Maltas, Reg Hullah, Chris and Nigel Wilkinson, Steve Burgess, Rob Bradsell, George Braithwaite, Peter Morton, Graham France, Neil Brigg, Richard Mason, Kev Smith, Mal Brown along with Lundy, Falding, Burnsy, Bezz, Finn etc all flying round the Bradford bowl. Hoping a virtual Bammy/Allan Barker/George Silverwood are ready to shove a yellow flag up the nose of anyone who strays onto the rugby pitch!! Hope Nigel doesn't end up on the 'timber baulking' as Bev used to call it! See you at the real Odsal in 2021!!* *Reesy/RFL permitting
  7. Enjoying all of the interviews that Jonathan and Jordan are bringing us, and this was no exception. Liked his top three, particularly when he said his dad. Spoke very well about his own career and how he sees his racing. A stock car great from a great stock car family.
  8. Anything to do with Bradford is "proper stock car racing" in my eyes. I think the second part of your description is closer to the truth than the first re 97WF, I'm sure Frank would agree, it's the winning that counts, not the taking part. Broadsword, that is a good pic, although as Premier points out, I thought you might've found a shale one!!
  9. 😀 Yay!! I saw a similar poll on Twitter. Luckily I voted shale!! Hoping to see a virtual Lundy fly round the Odsal bowl in his all gold car!! Great stuff, BSCDA. Just had a thought, remember them three-a-breast, clutch start meetings that they used to have there?! That'd be virtual carnage on turn one!!
  10. Of course. Complete with beams and virtual Bammy running after cars that got on the rugby pitch!
  11. I would just like to record my thanks to everyone involved for these e series meetings. I've seen every one so far, and it's been something to look forward to. Some entertainment/ a laugh in these serious times we live in. The drivers want to win, so the racing is intense. The commentary/banter from Window Boy (Paul Hines) & ECL (Mark Sargent), is hilarious and way better than anything else on TV on a Saturday night. I look forward to seeing Baz (ECL cat) each week now! Hoping for a virtual Odsal meeting soon, while Steve Rees works on bringing back the real one. Keep up the good work. Top stuff. Dotd Everyone RR 10
  12. These have been a great addition to the winter close season, and beats Saturday night tv hands down.
  13. Good stuff as always. Looking forward to seeing Bobby racing this season, always good to watch.
  14. Top notch as always from the BSCDA TV team, the new mikes are great, sound quality is much better. Keep up the good work.
  15. Great stuff. Look forward to seeing these each week during the close season. Excellent addition.
  16. Thanks Bryan, no need to mention my lack of height though! As ever, top work. Michael, Derek and Dave spoke about different aspects of the sport. I found Derek's thoughts very interesting, and something that the powers that be really need to start addressing. Good to see Bezz in fine fettle. What a driver he was.
  17. Good stuff as ever. Looks like it was recorded at King's Lynn. Excellent interview. Lee always comes over well and is a great ambassador for F1 stock car racing.
  18. It's a good point you make, Dave. I'd also add Stuart Smith Jnr into the equation for the same reasons, but Sir Rob certainly was the 'Main Event' when he was back in F1s in my opinion.
  19. Based purely on titles won, I would say Tom Harris (84).
  20. And of those 5,824 drivers, four have been called Stuart Smith! 391/1, 390, 139 and 397. Three have been called Frankie Wainman, 212, 515 and 555, and two John Lund's 53 and 95! Back on topic, I am surprised to read that there were no oval meetings taking place in the UK on Boxing Day.
  21. Yes, many thanks to all involved in bringing us the results, pit info and pics in the gallery throughout the season. A great effort and is appreciated by all, even if we may not always say so, it is
