I was just reviewing my stats for this video and read your comment. Sorry for the delay responding. E50 in the video was my uncle and around 80-85. I've never raced but recent years myself and my son go to watch and film. Love it, very addictive and there's just something about Autograss folk

I raced in the late 70s at Black Park shropshire number 50 track, good old days and for the working man and now are priced out today

Back in the day it was all for the working man, I was a young boy watching my Uncle at Evesham. Some of todays cars must cost an absolute fortune

my late grandfather used to race back then for Bristol South (BS4) in class 4 MK2 escort. then in 98 i did juniors under his old number. shame Bristol South doesn't exist anymore

There's still a lot of autograss around and i just love it. COVID has stopped us a little but it will be back for spectators soon.

And I won the alf cope memorial trophy when I was in juniors he was a nice guy too 😁
