Ahh those were the days!! 28/7/24 spoke to Neil Marriott up at Whiteways Cafe bury hill w/sx , still likes a bit of speed , he was out on his Honda Fireblade ( i still call him " TANGO" )
@@tattyadams I used to go out with a girl who's dad used to go out with the water bowser , after filling the bowser from a smelly pond just to the left of the entrance into the track field . The only way to turn the water on was to stand directly behind the spray pipe to operate the lever , you can guess what happened😝😝😝
@@colinhead284 🤣 So it was you!!! 🤣 I remember that bowser well! I also remember being dragged back from the next field when I got fired over the bank at the end of the finish straight 😂👍. I actually won a race once (rare for me) in a 2L team meeting when I went over the finish line on my roof, good times.💜
@mmikeironhorse they had american cars "YANKS" in unlimiteds before this video was taken, the reason they were banned for a while is because someone was seriously hurt in an accident after being hit by one, however they later allowed yanks back at the track maybe 3 years later
Those were the days and while we can’t race now because of this coronavirus we’ve got plenty of old cars built for when we can 👍 also brilliant video
Bangers are amazing I love racing here its such a nice track to mash the hell out of others 💪👍

To stop the seat collapsing back as the race harness straps you in tight and the hits make the seat bend!
