photos
Although I am not from this area these photos are truly amazing :thumbsup::thumbsup:...I wish there were more from the West and East Mids posted up from late 80's?
It always makes me wish that more images existed from my past, not just RC...well done digging these out they have made my day :) |
Track behind pub could be Bedworth. We used to race off road behind the Griffin Inn Pub.

Does anyone have any photos from the off road track which used to be in Hexham at Fewsters?
Or the Longbenton club at the college? Dan :cool: |

That sounds like it! Id've never have remembered that but think you're right yeah...

Wow!!,that lot takes me back,proper grass circuits and a superb line up
of what was then the hottest machines of the time,Shumachers,PB's,Tamiyas, Kyoshos,they're all there. The gold painted Arai stickered Boomerang looks amazing. It just shows what a great UK racing heritage was lost with the boom of TC/Saloon cars and Nintendo's,the home computer and WHY, 1/10th off road all but collapsed except for a few die hard racers. Great pics me old. Mark |
What is interesting looking at the first concourse picture is the amount of kids racing not adults, these pictures are very reminiscent of the racing scene in the North West of England from the mid 80's to 90's.
I will have to start scanning pics in! Did the Playstation and Sega's kill the kids enthusiasm or is it the cost of running a competitive car today that results in more adults racing than under 16's? ITS ALSO JUST STRUCK ME THAT NOEL EDMOND'S AND HIS BAD TASTE JUMPERS HAVE A LOT TO ANSWER FOR!! Just an observation. |
Some great photos there James.... seeing those line-ups of Cats, Optimas & Tamiyas really brings the memories flooding back. P.S; here's another photo I've got on P-Bucket from Worksop;
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...sopIndoors.jpg This must have been an indoor BRCA meeting sometime in the mid-late 90s.... think thats Mr Evdoka leaning on the wall down the straight? P.S; Not sure if the cost of racing is any more expensive now - if anything with LiPo batteries & brushless motors costs could be less?? |
I remember the Euro's at Teesside... I'm think Gemma has a few pics from then.
The big banked corner I remember Ray and a few other spending all week building it |
