More Photographs from the 1970's
Great to see such lovely photographs, thanks everyone.
Here's another from the 1970's. Brands Hatch 1973. (hope its uploaded). Yes, it has, great. The car was looking a little season battle scarred at this stage, so I apologise for that. |

OLD ADVERSARY Remembered.
Here's a photograph of a racer I used to come up against quite regularly, NICK BIRCH, I believe he was from the Stoke area? Anyway, here's Nick in his 1. litre Imp. Circa 1972/3.
Gerry. As you can see the photograph is copyright of Mike Hayward, and if this contravines any law, then the guys in charge can take it off. I apologise if this is so. If it doesn't, then thank you Mike. Last edited by Gerry Taylor; 8 Feb 2009 at 11:31. |

More 1970's stuff.
That is a mini behind the Jag, and I'm told it could well have been Keith Barrington.
Here's some more. Richard Long chases me out of Shaws Hairpin at Mallory Park. Cica 1973. |

Remembering LONGRIDGE CIRCUIT.
It was tiny, it was an innovation, a brand new racing circuit. LONGRIDGE Near Preston. Here is a photograph taken of the very first Special Saloon Car Race ever held there, in which my solitary Anglia saw off the multi Mini challenges to set the first lap record. Not long after, it was all over, finished and gone. I doubt many will recall it today.
This picture was taken at the first meeting in 1974. |

I have also found another forum link here which would confirm this: http://forums.autosport.com/showthre...postid=2962904 and there is always http://8w.forix.com/bsp.html giving a little more pre-superprix history. |

LONGRIDGE PITS!
I was looking at my scrap book earlier and found this interesting picture. It's the Pit Area at Longridge. That's yours truly dropping the bonnet down on the Anglia, next to me my dear friend Chris, who later died along with his wife Sue and David Prophet in the helicopter crash at Silverstone. Behind us is the Rolls Royce of Chris Meek, who turned up with the back seat full of wheels and tyres for his Princess Ita Escort. Note the public high up on the quarry edge. Oh, and look at the guy left of picture "Flares or what!"
Happy days. |
