I virtually lived at the track during the early 70's and raced there from 79 to 92 in 100 National and TKM. It was a great place to learn to overtake, thats for sure! Looking through old Karting Mag's, its amazing to see how many "names" travelled to race there:- Dave Ferris, Bruno Ferrari, Terry Fullerton, Roy Mortara, Mickey Allen, Alan Turney, etc. It also had its fair share of members who went on to great things:- Steve Thompson, Allan Rollinson, John Edwards, Phil Hilton, Bob Kennings, Jeremy Cotteril, Mark Beddall, David Button, Jonty Millward, Nigel Mansell and so on.
If you want to see some pictures of the track take a look at www.chasewaterkrc.co.uk and follow the first link to the Club's discussion group.
Cheers,
Mick Pritchard
