Thursday 28 October 1965, Aldershot
(Stock Car Racing News) Aldershot stadium is not the ideal
track to visit on a wet evening, covered accommodation being
strictly limited, so I was delighted when rain earlier in the
day lifted and gave us a pleasantly warm evening on October
28th. Although the rain had stopped, the track was still very
wet when the cars came out for the first race of the night.
In fact it was in just the state to suit Trevor Frost, a wet-track
star if ever there has been one. Alas, Trevor was not down to
drive in the programme - although it was rumoured on the terraces
that he had been seen, en-route. But we never saw him. The evening
did, however, prove that one of Spedeworth's newer drivers,
Graham North, can certainly handle a car on the wet and bumpy
Aldershot track. Three times North lined up on the grid, and
three times he was first past the flag, including of course
his win in the final. At the start of the season he was a white
top driver - now the November meetings will have' seen him with
a 'red' roof.
