Hurray!
There is some racing on the doorstep at last.
There is a North Gloucester Club meet on Saturday 7th October.
Coincidentall, this is one of the clubs I was a member of in my all
to brief splee of racing.

In 1958, as a callow youth (no sniggering, I was once!) I was taken
by me dad with some mates to the Thruxton 500 miler.
This was a landmark event and my first race meeting!
We travelled by car from Cranford (near Heathrow) and it seemed
to take forever (no A3o3 as it is now, no M3 and not even a Staines
bypass!
Dring the 60s, I went to Thruxton with mates who raced and it still was
quite a trek.
Little did I know that from 1989 to 2003, I would travel from Staines
to Andover (close to Thruxton) on a daily basis as my company (Britax) moved there (here)
In 2003, we upped sticks and moved to Andover to live.
Great! Racing on the doorstep!!!
Er, wrong. Due to noise restrictions, there are very few meetings at
the circuit.
Damn!
But, I aim to spend the day at the club meeting and am looking
forward to it, very much.
Looks like a good mix of classe, including 2 sidecar races.
All around what I think is a great viewing circuit.
You can see almost all the way round with binoculars from some
points.
A fast, sweeping circuit, too.
All a far cry from the days when I watched "exoica" such as a real
street style, Fred Warr entered Harley, dicing with Excelsior Ambassadors
and the like, over runways with huge clumps of grass sticking through!
Happy days and look what it got me in to!

Anyone here racing by any chance?
