Many
of you spent your Sunday afternoons at "Brafield".... at the stock car races... From the early '50s when the army was at Chelveston... cars full of guys and gals would leave the Cambridge or Globe in Wellingborough or the West End or Feathers in Rushden.. to go "see the races".. |
| Maybe some of you have photo's.. or recollections of the races.. you would like to include in this page... |

tells the following story about them returning from a
race at Coventry one evening... Sam was tired and dirty... where his goggles had been was the only white place on his face... they were towing car 338... and he kept repeating to Marg... "I wish that [ blankety blank!! ] car would get off my bumper... She laughed... eventually telling him " It's ok... the car following too close... is on your trailer"....... |
