Hey Tim,
You know that book "Competitive Driving" that you hadn't heard of. Well, I actually looked through that last night and it's not one author (or rather Editor like I said before : Peter Roberts) but a number of stories written by various drivers about their experiences :
- G.T. & Prototype Driving : Mike Parkes
- Formula 1 Racing : Innes Ireland
- Background to Success : Raymond Mays
- Against the Clock : John Sprinzel
- Mostly with the lid off : Roy Salvadori
- Hill Climbing : Tony Marsh
- Racing Drivers' School : Jim Russell
- Club and Definitions (listings of British Motor Clubs, probably all defunct now)
In the middle of the book there are ... hang on... 23 photos of the authors driving the cars they talk about.
I've just hoiked this out of the Definitions section :
"Restricted events are run under the same rules as closed events with the exception of the value of the trophies which is limited to £25. National British race-meeting organisers may pay starting money, and the total in starting money, prizes and awards must be a minimum of £500."
Wonder if there are rules like that now...
Can you ask that book shop bloke if you see him please ... or does he have a website?
