UK Special Saloon + Modsports Historical Database
From the 1960s through the `70s ,`80s and to the`90s Thundersaloons
modified saloons ( Special Saloons ) and modified sports cars
( Modsports ) were commonplace at race meetings across the country and thrilled the crowds. Today these men and their amazing machines are still fondly remembered but yet little of the era is properly documented on the internet , particulary race results.
So having collected a large stash of results and articles retrospectivly for the last thirty years I feel a database for this genre of racing is both long overdue and worthwile doing. However this will be a long term task as the subject is extensive.
Enjoy your visit.
Joe Ward guides Baby Bertha round druids at Brands on Bank Holiday Monday in the CSCC Special Saloon race. It wasn`t without incident as Joe had the old girl really wound up in race 2 and took the lead into Paddock Hill Bend before the car dramatically snapped right and rotated at Druids spoiling the run . Joe continued to finish at reduced race having pitted. For the second year running the most famous special saloon car of them has lead the CSCC race at Brands and the club and enthusiats alike are indebted to Joe for bringing this irreplaceable car out to roll back the years evoking memories of Gerry Marshall in the heyday of the special saloon genre.
