Old track day video.

My other half has some new software for video editing and is currently converting all our old VHS tapes to DVD. She's posted some clips on google and I thought this one was worth sharing: Knockhill Track Day 1995. Very funny footage of two idiots racing and crashing - Google Video

It was taken at one of the first track days that our local race circuit had. Glad to say standards are a little better these days.

Sorry there's not a Landy in sight,

thats brilliant. if i thought track days were always like that, id be there every week. as a spectator of course!

more exciting than formula one.

i moved back to jockland in 85 and hung about till 94 and i remember going to track days during this time. i also raced a bunch of f3 drivers on tom mclarens kart circuit and beat them, including someone called barrechello or somesuch name. does tom still have that track there?

Rant alert!!!!

I was a season ticket holder from forever ago until the late 90s when the price went up by about 25% in one year. I think this was the same year one of the events I entered was cancelled at the last minute because the club couldn't afford the increased costs.

Was that Tom Butcher??? Not sure, but the same faces are still running it. What events did you race in? I have loads video of loads back that far and used to go every weekend until my boycott due to the price hikes. It made me mad that it was folk like you and me who kept them going until we didn't matter when they started hosting the touring cars.

Rant over. Plug coming up

However, I did spend a day at Knockhill in November when I was invited to a photo shoot for Practical Classics when they used my car for a feature on 80s turbo cars. So if any of you are interested in 1980s turbo cars there'll be a feature in the March edition of Practical classics. Cars featured are: -

Audi Quattro
Saab 99 turbo
Ford Sierra RS Coswort
MG Maestro turbo
Mitsubishi Lancer

Once again apologies for the lack of Landy chat

Sometimes cut 'n' paste sucks

I still haven't finished the tapes from 1997. Here's one you folks might like; it features a six wheeled Range Rover.
