Lets talk Ascot. I am looking for anyone who would know if there are any articals or film of races back in 1964-1967. My father build a car and had someone else drive it. And they won a few races too.Lwatt (talk) 04:22, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OLDER version of Ascot

It appears that an earlier version of Ascot Park existed, back in the early 1900's, apparently in the same general area, and it was a horse racetrack, with gambling (although it appears there was some early auto racing there as well at times).

Read this early newspaper report: http://www.ulwaf.com/LA-1900s/06.01.html#AscotDoom

There is also mention of it here (with a photo of race cars): http://historylosangeles.blogspot.com/2009/04/shoestring-corridor-begats-harbor_10.html

If Wikipedia is going to do an article on Ascot, it shouldn't fail to research this original incarnation of the track. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.246.69.110 (talk) 03:02, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
