OUR story about the Robson family from Staindrop wanting to bring back Stock Car Racing to the region prompted us to go into the archive and dig out some old photos.
Hugely popular in the 1970s, our pictures feature races from Hartlepool and Newton Aycliffe.
- Do you have any photos from races in our region or the characters that took part? We'd love to see your pictures and hear your recollections.
- Add your comments and pictures here or email Katie.MacFarlane@nne.co.uk
