The one of the car by the wood ote sleepers a couple of posts back looks horrendous too.

Chris's crash was a big bump, we looked at the car in the paddock later on, the whole shell had twisted. Chris had quite a nasty bump on the head as well and I don't think he was the same again. He carried on working (I bought a Mini Se7en cylinder head from him) but I don't think he ever raced again.

Isn't it strange, the things you remember, I've no idea how David got on in the race !!
It must be an age thing.

Hi Ron, yes that was 1982. I'm pretty sure that Dave won the race at Mallory that day. I've a couple more pictures of him in that race and he gets progressively ahead of the pack of cars he's with...
