EPR in the olden days

[simoncook]

I confess, I have no idea who's photos these are, I found these one quiet afternoon at work.

It's a helicopter forum of some sort, but if you scroll right down to the bottom of the page, there are some EPO photos. Interesting to see how the track has changed.

that's really cool.

dig the old logo...

And solves the mystery (for me anyway) of why there's that white painted chequered flag after the "EP" on the raceway corner...

Cheers,
Ty

I kind of agree.. the sweep down to the startline by race control looks like a nice section. Alex? Is that really you?? You're about 2 foot taller than Matt there!

I have the horrible red and blue jacket on and Alex is to my right.

Also you can see Richard Bettaney and Gavin Clinch sitting below...

Bringing back memories for me, got hooked touring cars now and will be running the nationals next year.

Will have to make my way up to the new EPR as soon as I can get my hands on a buggy.

Will bring the old man out for day (Ken) as im sure he would like to see all the changes you have made, the big table top he built with all the other helpers looks like its still standing after all those years !

Was digging about in the loft today and found these old photos, thought they may be of intrest to this thred.
The photos are of the original track,I think the 1st and 2nd photos are from an old south of watford league. 1st pic no rostrum, just stood on the hill, the second photo is of my short wheelbase cat going around the track and the third is quite a bit later at the british GP.they had a rostrum by then and a track each side

I think the club house extension is now on to of this track, the new track was built to the left as you look at the hill
