Have many good memories about Redcar in the 70s, don't think much of the place nowadays though, just my opinion.

I used to go to watch the Sand Racing at Coatham and Saltburn early 70's. I minute 15 seconds into video could the bloke in the Belle Vue Aces Speedway Jacket be Russ Hodgson from Stokesley?

Anyone know the whereabouts of a guy from Redcar Named Dave Rowe? Would love to contact him.

I lived in Redcar for the best part of 10 years. The place is a little tidier these days, especially the sea front.
