... and a flash-back fifty years to the 1972 Light Car Race at Thruxton; Peter Gledhill leads Tony Jones and Dave Wortley. Behind Tony Jones' car is a blue chummy which could be Tony Griffiths - did you have a red helmet, Tony?

No, always white. Here's a shot of me at Thruxton (1970?) exiting the hairpin. The crank broke as I went through the circuit gates on my way home.
The other shot is you and David Wortley doing the compulsory wheel change during the 1969 VSCC one-hour high-speed trial at Silverstone.

Socks and sandals...at least I was wearing winkle pickers in 1969!
Great photographs by the way.

Socks and sandals! How 1969! Oh dear that’s me.
RE: Light car race - Mike Costigan - 17-07-2023
You and me both, Dave

Nomex socks, no problem.

Shell-Mex was familiar, but I doubt if we had heard of Nomex.
