Jalopy Racing 1965 - 1968

Jalopy racing in Gloucestershire was a very popular source of entertainment in the mid 60's for both spectators and participants. Starting off with crude old cars with the wings (fenders) removed an some nobbly tires fitted practically anyone could go and race on oval grass tracks that were laid out in large fields. Basic cars soon developed into custom made specials that ruled the roost.
