Bodium hill climb

Did you race there?
Have you any memories of the place?
Have you any photos from the meetings there?
Anyone remember Ken Davis in a mini?

I'm not 100% about this but I think Simon Crook holds one of the records if not the outright record for this now defunct venue. I did mail him to see if he would come on here as Joe his son who is currently competing in Club F3 lurks here sometimes.

It's Bodiam! It was one of my favourite venues; felt more like a big country garden party than a motorsport event. I think I went for the last time in 1978, but I'm not sure how much longer it went on after that.
Doc Willoughby's F2 March used to be most impressive there.

thanks for the replies. Thought that I had got away with my typo but hey ho. Which club ran the events?

Ben

It was a long time ago, but Hastings 1066 MC is somewhere in the memory

I raced there once in (I think) 1979 in my FF1600 Wimhurst and won the class; Richard Thompson (?) was quickest overall, if my fading memory recalls. My brother then used the same car the following year I believe but not sure of the result, altho' I do have a picture of a very grassy moment! Must get back in the loft and dig out the results and pictures! Was a fun place and something different to do.
