Oval and Out!
The ramblings of Oval Track Classic’s editor looking at this very issue and anything else of a nostalgic nature – just so long as there is an oval track connection.
Brian Jones
BriSCA Heritage has been neglected in our magazine so far so we decided to rectify that with a look at the man who has built one of the most beautiful cars in the formula and who was a champion himself back in the early 1970s…
Geoff and Mick Dixon
Father and son team Geoff and Mick Dixon have two classic Hot Rods. One of them is very classic indeed. Oh, and they have a classic Super Rod as well…
Belle Vue 1955
Colour photographs are hard enough to get hold of from the 1960s but when Des Penny got in touch and told us about this reel of pictures from 1955 we were intrigued…
Tennant ‘the Saint’ Douglas
Tennant ‘the Saint’ Douglas was one of the top Superstox drivers in the formative years of Spedeworth Scotland during the mid sixties through to the early seventies.
Brian Bearman

Half a Dozen of another…
Oval Track Classic’s editor ventured to Wimbledon in September armed with his trusty camera to have a look at the Historic Stock Saloons from some different angles.
London’s White City Stadium
One of all too many lost stadia in London. Richard John Neil looks back at west London’s White City stadium – one that perhaps had more history than most. A shame therefore that short oval racing had but a brief stay…
David Oates - Part 1
Hampshire’s David Oates is one of many drivers who cut his teeth on the short ovals before moving onto the big circuits. He’s raced a variety of cars and formulae over the years. Here we get the chance to see if anything has changed in his life since the 80’s!”
