pazza Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Posted March 2, 2007 my dad's got quite a few New Brighton and Kirkby pics, so i think i'll make a small website with the video, the pics and any info he has, or anyone is willing to contribute. if anyone has photos or info about either track that they wouldn't mind sharing, could they pm me with the text/pictures which will go on the website. cheers pazza
