Blimey how much Coventry has changed over the years . Thin tyres and total lack of shale wings too ! Great car control from Willie. Some great names there, who'd have thought the great Lundy would still be around today.

[@Mr_CMH]

Brilliant stuff.

[@petersmith3984]

great racing from before health and safety began to demand yellow flags at the most mundane of incidents turning races into stop/start yawn fests.

[@TheBill9999]

You think the same as me.

[@nezbitt1469]

Anyone know if Eddie Harrison is any relation to Willie as looks like a Willie car ?

[@leightonhughes1635]

paulkh31w how much has everything changed. I was more circuit centred then but through my job i got heavily involved in national hot rods at the time (best era ever) and Brisca (similarly). The current racing im watching through the brilliant BSCDA and other equally good providers is crap. The wings do nothing when the cars are barely moving. Sad.
Can anyone say what they do ?? honestly
80's era was the best for all racing imho not just short ovals
Hats of to Danny Wainman with the wingless car. BAN WINGS !!!
