A Stockcar is Born Episode 4 with BRCA Public Relations Officer Alan Leighton & 8th Stockcar Champ Ben Harding go trackside with how to prep for racing.
I used to do the rounds in the late 80's and completed with the likes of Mike Powell (world champion) at Lilford, and taking the podium on that occasion. I used to fabricate my own chassis and race tune my Nova Rossi - pro buggy 21 powerplant - It was so powerful that Bob Middleton reckoned he'd do-tune it. Hahaha Oh the good old days!
Wow that reminds me of many great weekends racing with happy memories of people and places. I raced across the country. Racing in Holland was something else. Remember Yorkshire Model Stocker Club?
It’s a shame there’s no way into 1/8 stocks without being on Facebook. If only the stock car clubs would build a website or even the parts manufacturers. I’ve had many 1/8 stocks over the years & quite fancy racing one properly but I don’t want to join Facebook so I can’t. It’s a shame because it will die out & there’s bound to be loads of old die-hards like me about. Remember Lilford?
