- Managed to save the cine film to Video before all the equipment was dissposed of a few years ago. Then I realised this was really just the start off point for Spedeworth Banger racing on a regular format so put together this explanation.
Sorry for any quality loss but it has been converted from cine to video then to DVD and then onto youtube and of course its 40 years old in most cases.
Like to think its worth saving as archive material at least.
I took all the photos & cine film except for some my dad took as I was out there driving as # 562 (1974, 75 & 76 )
Apologies to any Spedeworth fans who dont like Bangers.
Sadly whilst compiling this I heard the news that Les Eaton had died in January.
Without him there would be no Spedeworth, but thats another story altogether. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thank you so much for making the effort to post this. Absolutely brilliant footage and it has brought back many happy memories
Just found this - absolutely brilliant...many thanks for the effort of putting it together.
Great footage! Love the driver with tie at 3.14. Times have changed...
Thanks katzeye always worth waiting for those Bangers at the end and a bit short sighted of Spedeworth to dig up the Fig 8 track...Doh
FANTASTIC VIDEO. really enjoyed that, thanks for posting it.
Brilliant video - thanks for sharing.
What memories!
nice to see some old footage i started racing bangers at ringwood 1969 one race we had after the stock cars had ended figure of eight or just demolition always 50 cars plus and very large crowds great days
It has been pointed out to me that Spedeworth did put on some Banger Meetings before 1971 , as far back as 1968 in fact but these were one offs and very few and far between.
looks like there are a lot of us with the same problem.i won a demolition derby at walthemstow back in 1971 / 2 but all pictures are gone ..its a shame but i'll keep looking
I would dearly love to know if anyone has some cine film of Clandeboye stadium in Bangor, Northern Ireland from the late 1960's.....i have never seen as much as a photo from those meetings.
It would be magical for me to see some footage from there.
Thank you for posting this great footage..fantastic!!
Brilliant!!!!
thankyou very very much for posting this . it is a crying shame the footage is not available on dvd . do you know of anyone with cine footage from tracks up our way in the midlands? i would love to see late 1960's early 1970's footage from tracks such as coventry , ullesthorpe, dadlington, hednesford, long eaton, brafield , great gidding,and standlake when it first opened .
Basically thats the edited version of the Videos but I`ve only chopped out the duff bits, ie. ground, sky, feet and any blurry bits so you havent missed anything.
I so proper enjoyed this,Do you have the whole meeting on tape at ringwood out of intrest? or is just clips you have? if so any chance in a copy? haha would love that.
Thanks for the Comment Mr.Johnnyreb114 , sounds like you may have been there too.
excellent thankyou was looking out for my uncle on there nick lingfield
Hi WesDon`t think your uncle Nick`s there but he did go on to be a fig. 8 World Champ as I remember. Spoke to him about my own racing many years ago, a real nice guy.
does anybody out there have footage of the yateley bandits or kinson cowboys in there hayday rebels, waders, falcons oh blimey those were the days, i used to live in guildford & went over to tongham every thurs night to watch oh i loved it & never dreamed that years later fate has moved me to tongham where sadly its gone now, well we now have rushmore but its not quite the same.
brilliant! anyone know the music title? (track 2 onwards)
Sorry Colin, can`t remember the tracks but they all came from the youtube library when I edited it together. If it was the right length and I liked it , it got used. Glad you liked...........
Thanks for this Biffo,you really caught the atmosphere of this exciting sport.
