DeSelby Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Guys, Back in the days of old I use to race 2wd buggies at the Chingford Car Club. I think that was what it was called. Any way, any one on here have any memories of the club and its people? My memory is useless at the best of times, thinking back that far is like another life time away.

I3uster Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I used to race at Chingford Car Club and was a committee member for a while during the 80’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liane Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I used to race at the club, and my parents were the secretary and treasurer respectively! Committee meetings were often held at our house. I especially loved the Christmas races with the Pin & Balloon (we couldn't marshall that one for fear of pins in ankles!) and musical garages! Oh and the caravan races!!! We used to race at Gilwell Park in North Chingford - on land that is owned by The Scouts Association (It's actually Scouts HQ for the country!) - we'd use the "Lid" in winter and in the summer we'd use a near by field. My dad did a lot of work in computerising the races, and it was one of my jobs to press the appropriate button when someone told me what number car passed by, so we knew how many laps people had done, split times etc. My Mum used to run a cake and treats stall - selling her famous slab cake (sponge with a pink icing top!) and bread pudding - so I'd help out on that as well.... I've still got my "J final" trophy! somewhere... never quite made it to a "A" final! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
