The London Allstar Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Great site.. and the videos are a great chance for someoen young like me to see what stock cars used to be like, my dad always says how good they used to be. Well done all involved
Biffo Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 The Ayciffe Project is a superb site. Loads of old photos and I particually liked the Cine film from 1966 , did you spot the Morris 1000 in amongst all those Y Fords and E93A Anglias. Nice History of an obviously popular , if bumpy, little track. Best bit for me was the epic battle between Wallace and Taylor in the F2`s , reminded me what Small Oval Racings all about. Biffo
