The F1s really are awesome machines. These were the F2s. The banger driver in the black car was a complete nutter. Rolled the car completely during one race then proceeded to ram most of the other cars out of the way and off the track. He got black flagged in the end. Madness!

cant remember names now its over 20 years since the aces went but one lad was running the fastest f1 in the world. Saw some amazing races, some amazing crashes and all for 1 quid fifty on the gates

only 32 biggrinwink 30 quid? Stuff that! We used to go to nearly every meet, had bags and bags full of every meet flyer/mag. Loved it, miss it. Think the guy was called Paul something or another. He ran red tops but basically had the gold top for well pretty much all the early 90s biggrin

Remember catching some mud off his wheel as he sped into the pits so I kept that for years in a little envelope. Back then you could get into the pits no bother and walk around having a chat. Dare say its all changed now frown

Nah, the pits were open. That's one thing that hasn't changed then!
