TRAV365 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 hi Mav only just seen this. Yes i did race at every track in 1996 and got up to yellow top for October i got a plaque and a cheque of £100 from the brisca promotors and £100 from the f2 and a couple of gifts from some fans and had a blast doing it to. It started of with me wanting to race at the furthest south track Stday and the furthest north Crimond but then got carried away. And just for fun i did the same thing in 1998 racing at all the track plus i did 60 meetings that season only Rob Speak did more not bad for a pish white/yellow top on very limted funds. list of tracks i raced at in 1996 Barford Birmingham Bolton Bradford Bristol Buxton Coventry Cowdenbeath Crimond Hartlepool Hendesford Kings Lynn Long Eaton Mildenhall Northampton Pembrey Ringwood Skegness St Day Stoke Swaffam Taunton Warton

TRAV365 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) oioi Tosh for me there was 2 tarmac tracks i used to get a buzz from on tarmac that would be Cowdenbeath just because theres not another track out there like it with the racing line being so close to the wall and the buzz you got from the massive crowds back in the 90s there. Also used to love St Day again totaly differant from any other track with the wierd shape and the track was not as smooth back then as it is now and youd be well knackerd after a race there. As for shale again choice of 2 Stoke was ruff and ready with pot holes all over but had some of my best races on shale there and Mildenhall nice and small and always seemed to go well there to. But i cant say i raced at a track that i never enjoyed my 1 off meeting at Knockhill was a brilliant day and i did crap all night the one and only meeting at pembrey with 9 cars was good to massive long straight into a hairpin with all the cars running wide over the grass was funny. if i could race at a track that closed before i raced id love to be able to go back in time and race at Newton Abbot that place was awsome to watch at i also regret never racing in northern ireland or holland wished id made at least one trip Edited July 29, 2011 by TRAV365
TRAV365 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 oioi Tosh i found a few pics Cowdenbeath Skegness Stday Taunton first ever meeting from yellow october 1996 Cowdenbeath the cars last ever meeting before it was cut up as it was to badly bent was also the same day princes Di passed away 1997
Tosh924 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 amazing mate, thanks for the info on the tracks, top quality pictures as well, to think id be going with my dad at that time and you would have been racing around the wall, you probs raced against my uncle at that time to. a low grader doing all the tracks is some achievment in my book.

Cheers Tosh i loved every thing about it met some great great freinds by doing it to and to think when i first started in 1993 i hated it the only reason i gave it another shot in 1996 was because my brother got all loved up and wanted to sell it but most of it all was mine so i gave it another shot and never looked back just wished id carried on racing longer.
