Les Eaton “Mr Stock Car” 1928-2012 - Added 23/1/2012





It is with great sadness that we announce that Les Eaton passed away this morning, 23rd January 2012, at Ipswich Hospital.

Les, along with his late wife Mavis, promoted their first meeting on August 18th 1960 at Aldershot Stadium as Paramount Promotions.

Les broke away from the establishment of UK Stock Car Racing in 1961 to go it alone with his newly formed Formula Two Stock Car Company which in turn became Spedeworth International. From that day on the company secured its place as the leader in oval racing promotion in the United Kingdom, a place where it proudly sits today.

Deane and Janet Wood along with the rest of the Spedeworth Motorsports team wish to extend their sincere condolences to Les Eaton’s family and friends.

A full tribute from Graham Brown will follow.
