HISTORICS ON THE HILL
HRDC promoted event, promising ‘A full programme of Historic Racing, Classic Car Club displays, and great street food’. What’s not to like?
No word yet on any non HRDC invited grids. |

This is encouraging news for Lydden in the longer term...
https://www.kentonline.co.uk/dover/n...passed-221245/ Lydden is actually now a very good venue. There's a nicely surfaced paddock with plenty of hookup and the new building will really bring the place up to date. It's a shame it's so inaccessible to large parts of the country as it's a great circuit for club racing. |

I had some of my first truly competitive races there 10 years ago, a tyre shredder, but great fun.
Not sure I'd want to do an hour, or more but for a few 15-20 sprints its great. Wouldn't mind a blast round on My Lambretta either! |

We would do a sprint Saturday morning then race Saturday afternoon . Actually I think we did two races . Lydden were the pioneers of racing ahead format . Great fun .

I watched some scooter racing on TV here recently (from the UK but dont recall the venue)... all stripped down and all ridden by riders with no fear. And then there was a wet race..... they are all insane. Fun to watch though.
