It all began when three members of Bredon Jalopy Club happened to be discharging corn at MSF, Defford Mill. The three being Mac Taylor, Dave Collett and Eric Carlin with the usual moans and groans that grassers seem to thrive on; it was agreed to try and form a club of their own to be named Evesham and District Jalopy Club.
A meeting to this end was advertised in the local papers to be held at the Vauxhall Inn, Evesham on the second Friday of September 1968. The response was enormous and a unanimous vote was taken to form the Club.

A meeting was called for the following month and some 160 members signed on.

Later in 1968, officers were elected; rules made, equipment bought and preparations were made to race as a club in 1969. The Club applied to join Gloucester league and were accepted.

The first Race Meeting was held at Toddington and the admission price was 5 shillings (25 pence). It was a huge success; this becoming the norm for all Evesham Meetings and Evesham became known and respected for their expertise and efficiency.

In the seventies it was decided that owing to the advance of the sport, proficiency of drivers and quality of cars that the word Jalopy be discarded and the club was renamed Evesham Autograss Club, later to become Ltd. During the late seventies it was decided to form a new league to be known as MAP (Midlands Autograss Promotions). This was formed with our sister club Radford, the MAP becoming one of the foremost leagues in the whole of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

In 1980 it was decided that we should in some way involve our junior members in the racing scene. So with Radford, through MAP we decided that at all MAP meetings we should run at least one race per meeting for juniors, in class one cars only. (Juniors must be over 14 but under 16 on the 31st March).

This became a great success and in 1982 MAP held the 1st National Junior Championships.

Andrew LeBrun became the club's first Junior Champion with Darren Coupland as runner up.
