Vintage Racing at Eastnor Castle 1989 anyone remember it
 

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

I was actually there, racing in that video.
Raced many times there. Used to be good weekend at Eastnor.

Thats great.

I hope it brought back some good memories.

Which car were you?

I used to love racing at Eastnor lets hope it comes back one day.

Sent link to jon tucker too:thumbsup:

I was there aswell..

Not in that video though

Me too! Also not in that video though, I'm sure I have an E Final trophy from that meeting back at my folks place...:thumbsup:

I would definitely have been there, as I can't get access to youtube I'm not sure if I was in the vid or not but I did use to love that event!

Hi Roger

I'll make you a copy on DVD. We must be racing somewher together over the winter so i can give it to you. Maybe Caldicot?

Cheers

:thumbsup:

Does anyone remember who was providing the commentary, I remember the voice but I can't place it and it's driving me crazy!

Ian

Cheers Paul

As for where, I'm going to do the MAMs and yes I may well be at the ok Caldicot club night.

I am not sure but it may of John or Jason Howells dad or something like that.

Paul

I thought so, it was Jonathan Howells dad! It's clicked now you said that, cheers Paul!

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 :)
