UK Stock-car Racing: the "Good Old Days"



Well, this newsgroup is called "Misc", so ---
If you were around Britain's quarter-mile ovals in the 1955-1975 era
(or your parents were?), have a look at my personal website
www.oldstox.com

It has some 200 snapshots and stories of the legendary racers and
their cars of that era.  The atmosphere was wonderful: 
"Build-it-yerself, fix-it-yerself, race hard, settle your scores at
the track, and no whining."  I'd be happy to see any old snapshots you
may have tucked away -- remember Jumbo Tustin, Tiger Griffin, Rush
Tyrrell, Dirty Dennis, Darkie Wright, and champs like Ellis Ford and
Aubrey Leighton?  They welded up truck chassis to Ford 10 bodies,
dropped in a big ol' Chrysler V-8, built armour round the whole
shebang, and had one big laugh.

Have a look and enjoy!
