retrogeezer:
HotWheels are still going very strongly - they have a huge purpose built distribution unit on a new industrial estate near Poole.

Matt Farrow was also at the Bournemouth meet last year on a very nice Patterson Pro, he has worked at Hot Wheels for most of his life and used to race for them too......there's a pic of him & me at Bournemouth somewhere.

I rode at Bournemouth loads of times, I live in Bristol and raced in the South Central region, which included Bournemouth, Poole, Southampton and Wimborne. 

Here is a picture of me (riding for GT) at the 1st turn at the 1995 UKBMX National at Bournemouth.

So, Bournemouth track, Hotwheels, Strongs and then Slades Farm...that was the route we used to take too! Sounds like you might have been stalking me!   :D

My Peugeot race bike at Bournemouth, around May 1984
