Remembering Hoppo #60 @ Aldershot 17/09
There are plans in place to remember the late Mark 'Hoppo' Hopkins #60 at Aldershot Raceway on Sunday 17th September (1pm) featuring Micro Back to Basic Bangers.
Hoppo was very well known back at the old Fleet Motor Club days for his very smartly presented cars and brilliant attitude towards racing. His racing colours were very unique, starting with pink and black before starting up the Smarties banger team also including the likes of 665 Talcs and 662 Perky.
Sadly, Mark passed away in September 2009 leaving a big hole in the domestic banger scene around the Hampshire area. For those who knew Hoppo, I think it's fair to say the Back to Basics would have suited him to the ground - which is why this event being planned for a Micro Back to Basic session is very fitting.
Team Smarties will be out in force featuring their main drivers: 662 Perky, 665 Talcs, 63 Syko, 10 Daz. Plus guest appearances from: 92 Saturday Boy, 380 Lee Hopkins (Hoppo's son), 589 Ian Pullen, 713 Lauren Annets and more!
There will also be some great prizes for the drivers who turn up and race! Sunday 17th September is the date to remember and add to your diary folks. Should be a good day and hope as many people as possible support this event.
