Aldershot Stadium 1972 Superstox

It doesn`t seem like 40 years since I stood on that banking taking this cine film but it is. Luckily we`d saved the footage to video before the original was disposed of , I think its worth showing this brief snippet of the Superstox stars of yesteryear as its old enough for archive material. Please excuse some of the quality but it has been converted from cine to video then to DVD then onto youtube.
Incidently the orange car (40) is Derry Warwick, father of Derek.
The Warwick family were all keen racers at this their local track, including Derek, his uncle Stan and younger brother Paul.
After winning the English and World Superstox titles as a teenager Derek moved on to more success with F3 and F1 Grand Prix cars, and then onto Sports car racing and LeMans.
Paul followed in his brothers footsteps but his success was cut short after being tragically killed during a race at Oulton Park in 1991
Other regular racers of note at the old Spedeworth H.Q. were Robert Collard who went on to find fame with Touring cars and the B.B.C. D.J. Johnnie Walker who enjoyed a couple of seasons racing until breaking his leg here during a Stock Car race.
