Stock Car and Banger Racing at Mendips Raceway 1969

Cine film footage from Mendips Raceway, Somerset, England during their first season in 1969 featuring figure of eight Bangers and Stock Cars. Thanks to Paul Dominey for finding the film

Great to see these old films of Mendips Raceway. I first went there in 1971. It makes one realise how much work Graham has done since taking over there. I wonder how many other old films are languishing in lofts?

Quite a lot John. I've got one but it costs a lot to have Super 8 put on DVD!

@@davefoster543 Indeed; I have some film I bought from a cine fan in the early 70's of Matchams Park in the 60's (cost me a fiver then, I must've been mad on apprentices pay)

Brilliant video, Thanks
It looked virtually the same all the way up to 2000. Amazing how it didn't change in 30 years!
Also the red car at 1:04 is sponsored by RJ King. They now sponsor #198 Marcus Goldsmith and #363 Trummer at Mendips

Great find. Nothing much changes there by the looks of it,

42 years on and they still often banger the same type of cars
