Stock Car Racing
I used to go to New Cross Stadium in the 1960s to watch Speedworth stock car racing. Last night I went to see the same again at Eastbourne, the first
time in well over 40 years. They used to play a very distinctive tune at the start of each race but of course that has changed now. Anyone any idea
what the old tune was called? I know whenever I heard it I was back at New Cross immediately.
Treachery and old age will always triumph over youthful enthusiasm.
I used to go to Great Yarmouth in my youth and loved nothing more than watching the cars as the sun set - that music took me straight back. I took my
kids a year or so ago to Skegness. Trouble is, it just doesnt seem the same, all I could conclude was that watching front wheel drive cars understeer
around an oval wasnt as exciting as watching old jags and cortinas go round sideways!
