Vintage Racing at Eastnor Castle 1989 anyone remember it

[Paul Field]

Hi All

Look at this from the Eastnor castle meeting i think its from 1989.

I found this old video given to us by Simon Willetts parents after the meeting.

Pro Cats, Optima Mids and Yokomo Super Dogfighters. Look at the cells dumping. Hooray for LIPO's.

Also check out the real cars in the pits makes me feel old.

Enjoy

Year i was born :woot:
Shame they don't have shows on there anymore last one was about 3 years ago :( used to go every year.

Thats an awesome video.
We have been trying to help push get the model show back on at eastnor
but the problem is the land was sold to new owners and the new owners are super greedy with money so the show couldnt afford to pay the cost.

Eastnor is where i saw my first ever rc car meeting and from there is where i started. Really wish we could get the show going again

[Paul Field]

The good old days, I know I did some of the Eastnor Castle's but not sure if I had given up racing in 89.

I think that is Jim Howles on the commentary but not 100% sure, I'm sure the Willetts have loads of videos from the old school days :)
