Default Old UK racing videos

Found this the other day

Are they calling out the numbers?!?

Was just wondering if anyone else knew of any other gems floating around online?

BITD we only used hand out transponders at the regionals, all club racing was a two man job. One to call the numbers and the other to hit the keys on the computer.

From what I remember transponders weren't used in 1990 at any level

They must have - I hung up my TX in 1988, but remember going to an event with a mate as his pit bitch / marshall in Stafford around 87-88, and he was fuming at having to drill a 10mm hole in his freshly painted hotshot shell for the handout PT.

I hated the southend track at the time, a bit of inexperience of the multi surface really did me in. The video at the first couple of laps showed a Kyosho Lazer leading it I think, it may be ellis staffords and the 2nd place guy I remember who used that color scheme quite well, it belonged to Mark Tatman and he was driving the Tamiya top force.
