Metroman should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Croft Autodrome

On August 3rd this year Croft Autodrome will be 50 years old. I know its called Croft Circuit now but that's immaterial.
I'm desperately seeking reports and / or photos from that first Darlington DMC run event.

Can anyone help?

Are any of the photos on the History page of the DDMC website relevant?

Also that page mentions it opening in 1963 - don't know if it needs updating?

The Croft Nostalgia Weekend is the 2nd/3rd August this year - that's a happy coincidence!

Hi Gary,

Unfortunately not. They either pre-date or post-date this period. I actually have the originals of those as I look after the DDMC archive.

The Nostalgia Meeting date is indeed a happy coincidence.
