My memories of BRISCA F1 are of a few races at Gerry Dommet`s Matchams Stadium, just outside Ringwood, Hampshire. The only driver I can remember was Les Suckling who ran Jaguar engine cars. Think he came from East London? Matchams Stadium was primarily stock car racing but after being sold to Les Eaton`s Speedeworth organisation, a speedway track was opened but it never took off, primarily being used for practice. Motorcross and stadium cross were also held with some larger motorcross events being quite successful. The stadium closed for good(?) this year.

Didn't know they raced at Odsal again. Last time I saw stockers was at Belle Vue or Rochdale!
