OLD RACE SHEETS.(entry lists & results etc!)

[Gerry Taylor]

This was a Nottingham Sports Car Club Meeting. I have put some of the other race entries on this post.Such as FORMULA V and MOD SPORTS.

[Gerry Taylor]

This was Olton Park July 1973. Just look at the entry for the Formula Ford Grid.
I wonder what they're doing now? How many will look at this page in the future and think that was me when I was a young man. Look at the variety of cars too.

[chunterer]

Indeed, massive entry, massive variety. How things have changed as time's gone by.

Superb stuff!! Look at some of the names on those lists.

It's amazing how time flies, looking at the Sports GT stuff in 1972 a McLaren M6 and a Ferrari 512 were only a couple of years old but in the 80's the very same types of cars graced the Historic GT grids around Europe in what were almost the same series.

That prodsaloon entry seemed to rate cars by their value and not their engine capacity then?

This day is imprinted on my mind. In around twelve seasons of racing the worst crash I had was at Mallory on this day. I was so lucky, "SOMEONE" was looking after me that day at the hairpin. I came away with a fractured kneecap, and a cracked rib, and a little bruising. Here's the picture of car 87 that day.
Thanks for the memory matey.

[Gerry Taylor]

Blimey John, that's really going back in time. Well done for finding that matey.
I think Peter Baldwin and I were reserves that day, of course we were very young!

[Andy Clegg]

This is the entry for the 1983 Le Mans Twenty Four hours re Aston Martin Emka thread.

Now some from the first race meeting I did go to DAILY EXPRESS trophy 1965.

[Andy Clegg]

Thanks U2 that was very interesting.

Just looking through the 1937 Donington Programme I found this advert for
Mr Charles Martin's ERA plus specially built Morris Commercial transporter, all necessary tools & spares price of £1750.

If it's still for sale (at that price) I may make a come back

No support races back in 1937 just one 80 lap for Grand Prix Cars.

No one make saloons, No Celebrity Race, sounds good to me.

SILVERSTONE 1965. Such wonderful names from the past matey: Sir G. Baillie/ Roy Pierrepoint/Richard Attwood ( he kept a garage in Walsall at the time)/Warwick Banks/Teddy Savoury, I could go and on.
Excellent post.
Thanks.

Hi Mate, Attwoods garage stood on the corner of the main road in from Walsall Wood. Let me attempt to explain where it was. As you come down past the Arboretum, go straight across the huge Island as if your going into Walsall, you come to the road that the old Co-Op stood/stands in, it was on the corner. It was also a petrol station.
PM me and I'll tell you exactly.
Be Lucky!
Gerry.

September 10th 1972 at CADWELL PARK was interesting for the erection of new ideas in safety fences. from Donington curve to the Hairpin, and the Grandstand opposite the start line. The brand new toilet block opened that day too, and very impressive they were too. The LOMBARD F.3. ENTRY HAD A FEW ENSIGNS LISTED, WITH THE TOWN LISTED AS: GREAT WYERLEY. This was Mo Nunns home address in those days, and as mentioned elsewhere, he was a good friend. This was the first time I had seen a domestic garage with a red floor, that shined! You could have eaten your dinner off it! Car number 15 was an interesting entry too. Dear Roger Williamson.
Stunt man Val Musetti ( he of "The ITALIAN JOB MINI") is also listed.
Enjoy.

It is indeed! The word ATTWOODS GARAGE was on the facia.
The area at the front was a petrol station. How I know, is that I went to school in the area, and past Attwoods most days. Little did I know that one day I would meet his cousin ALAN ROLLINSON at MORRIS NUNNS workshop in Great Wyerley, near Cannock.
A very small world indeed.
Cheers matey.

Crikey, totally OT but what a great image. A Metrobus, a couple of 80's 'classics' on the road and on that forecourt and just look at the price of the petrol!!
