diz should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
With my pedantic head on :
1967-2007 is 41 years inclusive, so the 40th celebration should have been held in July last year.

I'll sort of hold my hands up here, as I did try to get something going for a joint Champion of Oulton 25th and FF1600 40th "event" this year, but received very little competitor [old and new] feedback, so gave up on it.

Sad I know, but there isn't anyway near the amount of interest out there that "us enthusiasts" like to imagine there is. Let's face it the majority of current NW drivers don't even know the names of who is doing MS in 2007 and vice versa.
What chance have we got that they would remember Ray Allen, Tim Schenken, Rad Dougall, Ken Bailey, Ted Whitbourn, Geoff Lees, David Kennedy, Derek Lawrence and the like.
I think the last F1 driver to do any Kent racing was Anthony Davidson and they probably haven't heard of him either.
