Lets hope we get the same sort of numbers of people turn up as we had for Oliver Gavin (about 30). All of our guest speakers give there time free for these clubnights as they are for marshals many of them actually make money doing the same thing as after dinner speakers.

Seriously though, it was a great evening. I lost count of how many famous projects Tony had worked on well before the end of the long but very enjoyable evening (feel free to add any major ones I've missed). Lola (inc Ford GT40 and Honda F1). Brabham (various categories). Eagle (including an Indy 500 win). BRM, Shadows, Lotus & Arrows Forumla One. Ford RS200 rally car. Jaguar, Toyota, Ferrari, Nissan & Audi endurance racers. Yet he's still such a down to earth guy, now enjoying club racing in his retirement. There's no special people or equipment in the Tony's Tigers team pit at the Birkett Relay, despite the pedigree of their captain. |
