Might mention this to my boss. He's only 5ft 2" and loves motor racing.

I was expecting to see a picture of Chris Solly getting out of one of these midget cars...

I don't think AFKA is renewing his season ticket though!

I noticed the 'dress code' was rather middle class, white shirts and jackets, not 'flat caps' combo's like the great majority in those days at a football match. Also an amazing size crowd . I wonder if you could do this now days. Looks great fun. I wonder if this was in the days of the Charlton Greyhound stadium on the bottom road ?. I do love these old photos.

Is that where Bernie Ecclestone started?

No sponsors.

Might be the same next season.

Are we talking midget cars with normal size people? Or normal size cars with midgets driving? Or midget cars with midgets driving?

I've heard that motorised sofa racing is very much on the cards.

Someone decided to replace the cars with a camel. Genius.
