Great pictures Steveo. Can we have a few more if they are about????

I love the old photies, some of those cars look fantastic and capture the period perfectly.

I love that pale yellow Coronet. :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright:

Aaaah yes....."Sloping Alley" as me and Adrian used to call it :D . Not exactly level! I'm sure I have a few pics somewhere from a race there....there weren't many. It was nice to go somewhere other than the Pod or "Long Marston" at the time

Love it Steve :thumbright: Don't recall seeing that 70 Bee before.

We need more old pics in these dark winter months. I'll get the scanner going after Chrimbo.

Here's the blue Charger at an early MMA meet, would have been about 1985

started out as a 1/4 but was soon changed to a 1/8 th mile , the run off was to short for faster cars .

yeah thats right only a few meetings ..as the farmer was not too keen on the spectators or something , what finaly put the kibosch on it was some plonker rode his motor bike through the farmers crops ... i actually saw the farmer chasing him :roll:
would be interested seeing any pictures Gavin :thumbright:

yeah will Do Clivey i'll scan some more pictures .... scanner has gone pete tong ... at the mo .... :smash: :(

Good picture Adam .... that Yellow Superbee ..is now back to its B 5 blue paint ..needs restoration now ..been up for sale a few times ...
my dad almost bought that back in 87 . there is a thread on it somewhere on here !!
agreed need some good old time pictures this time of year to look at
