Welcome to our history page
Stroud & District Autograss Club was formed in the mid 1960's after a family had been to a local jalopy meeting and called in at their local on the way home where they met 3 other men who had also been watching the racing. They formed a club and the first meeting was held at the Bell Hotel in Stroud. Our first chairman was Gordon Coates and the first race cars were all Ford Pops purchased from the local scrap yard, how things have progressed since then and listed below are our National and BAS Champions. Thanks to Tracy Aldridge and Jeffrey Parish for the information.National Champions
