Trackstar are very honoured to have been approached to host the Eric Graveling memorial; which will be run in conjunction with the White and Yellows F1 Stock Car race on the 20th May… we are very grateful to Eric’s Daughter, Sara-Jayne, with additional Sponsorship meaning that the race winner will take home a superb purse of £315!
Coming from Peterborough, Eric was the type of driver that makes up the very backbone of the Sport, racing BriSCA F1’s in the late 80’s and early 90’s. He was a very well liked member of the pits and a big helping hand behind the scenes, particularly when it came to spares for the transporters of the time and his hire car saw Russell Cooper get on track!
Following his retirement, Eric supported the Sport until his sad passing last year, watching many meetings and also was instrumental to the Bus and Coach racing here in the 2000s, sourcing many of the vehicles as well as racing them!
With Eric’s Grandson Joshua, making his track debut in the National Ministox the same evening; it will be a very fitting tribute and we’re looking forward to a great race to honour the Gent that was Eric.
