Gears & Tears on BBC1 - Mondays @10.35 - V8 Stockcars

[BudgieV8]

BriSCA V8 Stockcar Racing documentary on BBC1 for the next 6 weeks showing the passion & loyalty of the dedicated top drivers & their families & supporters - Mondays @10.35

 

This is the formula to watch with proper loyalty, determination & POWER! - Used to watch this at Hartlepool & Aycliffe in the '80's & most of us back then had a 'WANT' to do the same!

I was a Stuart Smith (snr) supporter & a spannerman for a few teams.

If you want REAL V8 Stockers - watch this for the next (5) weeks (the first episode is on BBC iPlayer until Sunday night) - Enjoy.

- Lack of bbc advertising doesnt help - something about football starting maybe??? (HUGE YAWN)

World Finals are at Coventry on 4th September @7pm- well worth the trip!

 

Synopsys from BBC:

 

Documentary series following the Smiths and the Wainmans, two rival clans in the world of stock car racing, who have dominated the circuit for 40 years

I used to support 'SuperStu' at Hartlepool & Aycliffe in the '80's (Transflash/Keith Davids sponsors) - met him once when I visited the Taylors Skoal Bandit F2 team up in Coxhoe, Co Durham (Paul Broatch 644/Russell Taylor 744/Dennis ... 844) & F1 Gerald Taylor 250) & he is a really genuine bloke (I was 'Starstruck' as he was the Top Man then! lol).

F1's at full chat around Hartlepool & Aycliffe - John Lund 53, Mike 'Moxy' Close 199, John Toulson 286, Andy '100' Smith, Len Wolfenden 190, SuperStu 391/1, Frankie 'Smiler' Wainman 212, Pete Falding 33 - & his Dad 36, Bobby Burns 471 'Flockton Plant Hire' - what more can you want on a Sunday afternoon?

- (BTW - The chief people in this programme (Andy Smith & FWJ) were Ministox drivers back then - but both BLOODY GOOD!)
