Hastings Vintage Bus And Car Rally Pt 1-'Talking Stock Cars'

[merlinbus]

Nice to hear from a Spedeworth racing fan, particularly hearing of Cross-in-hand. The best of the Spedeworth circuits, with it`s straights on different levels. I remember, besides the racers themselves, the "run what you brung " laps, where boy racers of the time, raced around the track, against the clock. Many a pride and joy ended up in the wire on the bottom corner. My girlfriend of the time lived at no.2 Stayton Road, so we often wandered up to see Polley and North at work.

I remember George Polly, last saw him at Foxhall Heath at Ipswich years ago. My Godfather is Paul Huggett (Short Circuit Mag.) and my Father was Dave 'Blossom' Packham number 164

If you are referring to EJK 421 you are looking at an Austin A35, it's predecessor was the Austin A30 which had the much smaller rear screen.

Glad to know that a few people out there remember the old 'Cross In Hand Days!' Geoff Lampard, now there's a name from the past! HA HA I remember the name and I think you are right about the number. Not sure which formula he was in though? Possibly Stock Cars but could have been Superstox and I seem to recall Geoff being a Blue top. Am I right?

Remember all those stock car days of Cross-in-Hand with affection. Raced a 4 door Austin A35 in Stock Rods in the '70s. Happy days
