HISTORY OF CHESSINGTON RADIO CAR CLUB.
THE CLUB WAS ORIGINALLY TWO CLUBS, THE OLD SAXONS MODEL CLUB, AND THE SURBITON MODEL
CLUB,WHICH RACED WHERE WE ARE NOW, BUT IN A DIFFERENT AREA.
IN 1975, THE TWO CLUBS MERGED AND RACED FOR A WHILE AT SURBITON, WITH MOST RACING
BEING ON CAR PARKS AND AT SCHOOL FETES AND COUNTY SHOWS.
IN 1976 THE CLUB MOVED TO THE "RAF CAMP" AT CHESSINGTON, AND CHANGED ITS NAME TO
ITS PRESENT ONE OF "CHESSINGTON RADIO CAR CLUB".
AT THIS TIME MEMBERSHIP TOTALLED OVER 100, SPLIT AMONGST CIRCUIT AND STOCK CAR RACING,
RACING ON ALTERNATE WEEKENDS.
AROUND 1978 THE CIRCUIT SECTION OF THE CLUB MOVED TO CRYSTAL PALACE,WHICH
IS NOW THE HOME OF THE LONDON CAR CLUB.
THE CHESSINGTON CLUB, NOW ONLY RACING STOCK CARS, HOSTED THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN
1981, AND THEN LEFT THE RAF BASE AT CHESSINGTON IN 1983 (closure due to security
reasons.), MOVING TO THE SWAMP-LIKE CONDITIONS AT LEATHERHEAD FOOTBALL CLUB.
THIS WAS A NEGATIVE TIME IN THE CLUBS HISTORY, WHEN DRIVING STANDARDS FELL, AND
CHESSINGTON DRIVERS FOUND IT HARDER TO COMPETE, UNLESS IT RAINED, THEY WERE
PRETTY GOOD IN THE WET!
THINGS CAME TO A HEAD, WHEN THE NEW CLUB MANAGER AT LEATHERHEAD, DECIDED TO
INCREASE THE CLUBS FEE FOR USING THE LAND TO AN UNREALISTIC FIGURE, SO THE CLUB
LEFT AND RACED FOR TWO SEASONS AT PURLEY,ON THE OLD CROYDON AIRPORT CAR PARK.
THANKS TO A FORMER MEMBER, THE SURBITON SITE WAS "RE-DISCOVERED", WHICH WAS
NOW DERELICT, AND AFTER DISCUSSION AND NOISE TESTS, A NEW TRACK WAS BUILT AND
THE CLUB KICKED OFF THE 1989 SEASON AT WHAT IS STILL THEIR CURRENT LOCATION.(In 1999)
IN 1991 THE CLUB HOSTED THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS, AND IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS
THE CLUB BUILT ON ITS SUCCESS, AND HAVE HOSTED MANY NATIONAL AND REGIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIPS, NOT TO MENTION THE CLUBS OWN CHAMPIONSHIPS, AND OPEN RACE MEETINGS.
1999 SEES A NEW CHAPTER OPENING IN THE CLUBS HISTORY, AS PLANS TO BUILD A NEW
STOCK CAR TRACK AT ITS PRESENT LOCATION, BUT IN A DIFFERENT POSITION ON THE SURBITON
TOWN SPORTS CLUB ESTATE, ARE WELL ADVANCED, WITH MUCH GROUNDWORK HAVING ALREADY
BEEN COMPLETED, AND IT IS HOPED THAT COMPLETION OF THE NEW TRACKSITE WILL COINCIDE
WITH THE NEW MILLENIUM.
SEE BELOW, A PICTURE OF THE OLD TRACK.
