Hope you enjoyed page 1, now for

High Edge
was always known for hosting many formulas, this pic is
the Saloon Stox
Here we have the popular
Stock Rods
Who remembers this Transit?? it used to lead the cars
round on the rolling lap, take the winners round, and get
rid of broken down cars from the track too, I remember it
being driven by a man who looked like 'Freddy Boswell'
off TV comedy 'Bread'
Saloon Stox and
270 is Keith Burgess of the 'Ashwood Alcoholics'
370 John Howarth in Saloon Stox
Bomber action here, with another of the Ashwood bunch,
470 Pete Corbett - still racing today, could that be 38
John 'Killer' Kinghorn behind??
Hot Rod action from the late 80s, all those Starlets!
The weather at the track was always a talking point at Hi Edge, here
we are with Outlaw driver Al Slater with snow on the
track in summer I am told!!
Bomber 126 Daryll Wright here, just look at the fog you
cant see far, Bombers were under 2000cc cars
59 Brian Heywood here in a Cortina Bomber
These were the bigger formula of Bangers, mainly
consisting of big Jags like this one from Les Manning, note the up and
over exhaust pipe
circa 1988, could this be a Superbanger??
Unfortunately,
there is a lack of photos from 1988 to the 2000's, can
you help?? email

In 1998,
High Edge Raceway became 'Buxton Raceway' under the
promotion of Dave Pierce, who had been involved with the
High Edge promotion previously and also at Bolton. From
then on under the Buxton Raceway banner the stadium has
gone from strength to strength, gone are the days of
races with just 2 or 3 cars, the seasonal fixtures see
local and national formulas with very full grids of cars,
and each meeting is run to the highest standard of
organisation and adhering to all health and safety
issues.
We hope
you have been reading closely, many of the names mentioned featured in a one off
special in 2005, the first staging of the 'Old Boys
Banger' meeting, for drivers who have been racing bangers
for over 15 years, CLICK HERE
to see pics from this event.
Thankyou
for reading, we look forward to getting any more photos
to add to this online collection.
