mouseflakes Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I have documentary evidence that Winston Churchill stayed in that caravan as the guest of Sidney and Doris Hoven and their daughter Bunty during the week they spent in Cleethorpes in July 1963. Apparently, at the time it was last seen it still sported the original foot-operated water pump that had so impressed the great man during his stay.It makes my blood boil! I can't believe that you would destroy such an important piece of this country's motoring/leisure-taking heritage.Still, at least you rid the world of that heap-o-shite Vauxhall, so it's not all bad.

mouseflakes Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hey Bones - how come some races appear to allow cars with the winscreens still in place? Does it vary track to track or is it a subtle difference between formulas (was this nominally a 'non-contact' formula of some sort?). I assume it's simply not allowed for the old toughened screens?

bones96 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 they leave the screens in with the caravan races to stop bits of caravan hitting you in the head plus we wear full face crash helmets with visors to protect eyes from glass splinters but the banger drivers take out the glass and sometimes put wire mesh in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I love going to the stock car racing, though I'm less keen on the bangers. Unfortunately my local track, along with the football pitch in the middle, is going to be a housing estate by the end of the decade. There is only one other track in Scotland and it's about 70 miles North of Aberdeen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
