1973 'Cross Country' video

'Hare' Racing is not a new sport. When we started running events nearly a decade and a half ago we just copied what we'd seen in France, Belgium and the States. Even those early events were heavily oversubscribed with 450 plus entries being the norm for the 120 to 240 available places depending on the venue and some were even featured on mainstream TV. But if we thought we'd found something new, not a chance! - events like the Sunbeam 'Point to Point' races of the fifties had long before introduced 'Hare Scramble' style events to the masses with amazing racing and superb 'video' coverage even then.
So what's all this about? Well we came across this video recently from 1973, take a look you'll see what we mean - nothing's new (not even auto-clutches, look out for the belt slipping on the 'Rokon' automatic after the stream crossing). Enjoy the video, Enjoy their ride!
