It is indeed Mallory. I raced there 3 times in ModSports and twice in Prod Saloons in 81 and 82. Front row in 82 race, but fell off first lap! It never rained when I was there not once. In fact in 4 seasons it rained at Thruxton (Nov 79 televised STP race which I still have) and Brands Hatch, summer 81 on GP circuit. Never really used the wets back then. Maybe it was global warming(not) ! It was NEVER warm though.
I was lucky. In STP I raced with Radbourne X1/9 , Fletchers Lotus, Pugsleys black Davrian, Steve Roberts mighty Mini Marcos, Sutherlands Datsun 240, Yates -Smith and others 911's, Morgans, Multiple very fast Midgets, other Lotii, other Davrians, a Turner (at Lydden in 79, an E-type in 79, a Stag!!! Ginetta......Not 3 bad actually.....The racing was always entertaining....As a backmarker, we knew our place ! But we were out there actually doing it...
I'm in Florida since 1984 and now amongst other things I shoot for Audi for their ALMS programme...Racing is always in the blood...But I'd race again in a heartbeat given half a chance....
