Biffo Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share 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.
