I think Nick W drove the Divi Surtees occasionally early in 76, ie just after the team had got it. I saw him at the MCD Open 'Libre' series race at Mallory in April that year, he was 3rd OTOH behind Musetti and Wingfield in their F2s.
I think Nick sold his Escort GA to Kirk over the winter of 78-79. He went G1 after that I think with a Capri |

The photo posted by 'Big Andy' at Brands Hatch Paddock bend was a 'Century Supreme' special saloon race on the 8th May 1977.
There are a lot of Minis in the picture because qualifying was very wet. I will try to sort out the drivers in the picture when I have found my results sheet. |

Sorry Big Andy,I don't. I went to Oulton on Saturdays and Croft on Sundays.
Went to the big Supersaloon Meeting, but have been looking for those photos for years.I've Gerry in the Dolomite but no S/loons. Talking about that,I remember a Supersaloon race at Oulton with Doug Niven in the Beetle and Nick W in the Escort GA with I think the droop snoot. Nick won. The following day,Doug was at Longridge, in a twenty lap race he broke the lap record seventeen times. Andy |
