They’re all from races. The one with the Kurtis was classed as pre-1961 Racing Cars.

Last batch - make the most, quite possibly the last race meeting that I'll cover media-wise!

That was an interesting first lap Stuart. It must have been extremely interesting from where you were sitting.

The 215 car is the 750cc Vixen of Sean Mooney.
It runs as an invitation class entry with us occasionally.

Vixen VB1.
Seems to have been around a bit doing various things.
Invitation class on the day.
ETA: Ah, Stuart got in as I was looking at some interesting pics form Angouleme (not sure which year) where the Vixen was participating.

The 500s and their drivers (riders?) sure make good subjects for photography!
Gary, thank you for all the wonderful pics you have provided tenths over the years. Along with those from other contributors, they’ve made so many threads come alive.

You are probably too young to remember them in their heyday Mike, but they provided some of the best racing around in the 1950's. Close, wheel-to=wheel racing, lots of overtaking and a really raucous engine noise, and the scent of Castrol 'R'.
Heaven must have daily 500cc races. Jim Russell, Ivor Bueb, Les Leston, Don Parker, Moss, Collins, Lewis-Evans, Ecclestone ……….Ah!

Mmm, not quite too young! I have vague memories of Dad taking me to Snetterton and watching 500s in the mid 50s. And the smell of Castrol R will never be forgotten....

Old age, lack of opportunity, general lassitude with bureaucracy, or ?
Do tell I'm 81 and still battling on.

Many thanks for the kind remarks Mike. Will still post the odd one or two but not to the extent that I have in the past - certainly as regards races.
