Cross in Hand 19 09 70

From a DVD originally put together by Micky Thorpe Superstox and Stock Cars in action at Cross in Hand. Watch out for the massive rollover from the late Graham North whilst dicing with the late Gentleman Jeff Munn.

Hi I just found this wonderful footage of the stock car racing at Cross in Hand in 1970 on the parade lap I was driving orange car with the blue top 150 and my good friend Bob Gosling was sitting on the bonnet. I wondered if there were any other websites, video's or pictures from 1968 to 1972 from Wimbledon, Walthamstow and of course Cross in Hand where we race regularly.

Wow ! fun days and seems like yesterday ! Dave Pearce looks very young , I remember a certain Arthur Fowler and he was racing a Superstox aged 50 ! seemed so old in those days ! thanks for posting :o)

Only just found this little gem. Lovely piece of archive footage from Cross-in Hand. Some classic old stocks and supers out there. Glad to say I was sometimes there, standing at the bottom of the hill and at least one rollover per meeting as I recall. Sadly gone too soon, but at least surviving on your cine film.

I remember seeing, Dave Pearce in Superstox and George Polley in Hot Rods, later came Barry Lee, he was unpopular with the other Hot Rodders because he clearly had money and his car was newer and better turned out than theirs, I seem to recall that he did struggle a bit with driving it as it was also more powerful. Sad it all ended, fun days!

Is this cross in hamd as in East Sussex 🤔

[@dukey306]

Yes it is. Track used to be behind where the big petrol station is. Closed in 1972.

[@kierenbrisley6744]

Thought so I used to live in Heathfield

[@angelsone-five7912]

Like the majority of our tracks all is gone now, consigned to a fading memory and odd bits of film like this, great days.
