| Is the Racewall still going? I used to go every week around 1990-91 ,when I had my old Capri 2.0S! I used to stoip off in Portobelloon the way home at the fish and chicken bar (just up from the Polis station) to have my customary Haggis supper! My mate Micky Deans used to race in the Stock Rods (no 452) ,we used to go up and watch him.

| I would be happy if I could follow someone from Edinburgh area to the Racewall though as I can't remember how to get there: two of us went a couple of times last year, but I used to drive and he used to navigate so I never actually noticed which way we went. Is that OK?

| I used to go to Racewall regularly back in the day - always went at the end of the month so we could head up Princes St afterwards to see all the custom cars parked up. I was good mates with Allister King who won the F2 World Championship years ago. started off at Newtongrange before Racewall. Might speak to the Mrs as we have a night out for my birthday - could start off at the stockies!
