Default Unsteady Nostalgia Part II: South Coast/Bournemounth Circa 1992?

Hello All,

Been dragging through my memory banks and I remember a few of us (Lee Mullen, Hatton's, Scott Gorge + others) went camping in the new Forest and went racing somewhere near Ringwood, possibly Bournemounth. The track was in or beside a pub just off the main road.

I have the name Thor in my head but cant locate anything...

Anyone remember this place?, is it still going?

Neil

I remember racing there.It was in the grounds of the pub and was a good track,well it would be if it has a pub 50 feet away.

Thor racing was the local shop run by the legend Aris Tellier

Sorry to hijack your thread Neil but seeing Aris' name appear reminded me of a place I raced at quite a lot in Christchurch called Wessex Off road Models (WORMS).

It was a dust track with a table top and a bomb hole in the corner of the public park.

Timewise it was somewhere around 1982/83.

Anybody got any memories or pics of that one too? I can't find my pics

the wessex off road models w.o.r.m track at christchurch was previously used for cycle cross.There used to be loads of clubs/tracks in the south and west all running open meetings and then the swords series.
