Gerry Marshall and Tony Lanfrachi... Club racing's Gods!!! These two are up in the sky at a bar drinking together, wondering what has happened to today's "club" racing!!

I was both fortunate and un-fortunate to be in Gerry's company at Tone's 'wake' and I doubt we shall ever see their like again. Long may both their memories stand as tribute to the 'game'.

Simple, Tone was no longer with us, and Gerry was soon to follow. my association with both went back to the day's in the bar at Brands, along with Whizzo Warren Pearce, Quicky a man called Hunt the .... Chatty, Britten, Gabrial, so many; and with Mark Konig Tone and the Nomad's which had BRM engines then, Gerry yours truly et al gave Tone a good send off and the mother and father of a headache for most of us, 'sliding a few down' in Lanfranchi parlance.

Unfortunately, we probably shall not!! Their memories on the other hand, shall remain with most, if not all who read on this forum. I have based my helmet design on that of Lanfranchi's which some of you may or may not have seen.

Have you got a pic of your helmet Chris?
I've recently given Tony's nephew a load of photos that Dad had collected of TL; he was a big fan of him - a bit strange I know!!
