Stock car racing has caught on in in Lancashire, and beating the hell out of his 'mod stock' is Dave Neil's idea of a good Sunday out. The Fanatics follows Dave as he attempts to qualify for, and win, the Northern Championship race.
This short documentary film features some superb onboard racing footage.
Clip taken from The Fanatics: Mod Stock Mad, originally broadcast on BBC Two, 21 December, 1972.
