Beach racing, UK style

A meeting takes place in Bridlington, Yorkshire, in April called Race The Waves. https://www.backfirepromotions.com

A mate of mine sent me these images from this year.

its probably what we call a special on this side of the pond. Usually they are home built bodies on pre war chassis or entirely home built chassis. These are what we were racing at pendine sands in the uk pre ww2 while you guys were at the lakes. You can still find some of the originals being used in trials events or brighton but not many other places as they dont really have the safety equipment to be legal and adding it would ruin the authenticity. Its also got number plates so it must be road legal too so the chassis must be original to something like a t or similar and since its not a q plate probably only the body and engine have been changed (according to current vehicle liscencing laws)

Sure hope there is a good car wash close by.  Just thinking of what that salt water would do to all that vintage iron makes me cringe.  BTW, those are some great pictures.
