I think it got squeezed at Lavant.

Pristine now! It was fixed very quickly at Jordan Racing team.

Yet more BRMs and no apologies from me for that! The 70 year BRM demonstration was one of the major incentives to travel in 2021, despite the obvious travel problems, difficulties and of course, costs. As things stand right now, I'm not sure I'll get back to Goodwood again, but we'll just have to see, as it is without a doubt, the most photogenic classic race event any where.

If I do get back, 2024 may be the next opportunity, as I have ruled it out for this year and 2023 we have a world cruise planned.

My guess is that they may honour Graham Hill this year, 60 years after his World Championship win, so an opportunity for BRM's again!

1974 - Mallory Park

1975 - Dudley & District Car Club's 'Tocky Bonk' trial, sharing lodger Mike's 1116cc Mini. I only joined Dudley as at that time, the Nottingham Sports Car Club weren't members of the Association of Midland Motor Clubs. When I took over as NSCC competition Secretary after they ceased all involvement in circuit racing, I got the NSCC into the AMMC and instigated the NSCC Sprint Championship, that took off very quickly, as the points system wasn't based on times, but on attendance and also the number of people beaten in class. The 200GBP prize fund was split according to points earned and started at the minimum points earned for attendance at a specified number of events.

1977 Donington

1980 Curborough. Alan Payne's 'Smiley Riley' - with Rover V8 power. My inspiration for the Magnette and my SMILEY plate, bought originally for my own Riley (Elf). The Riley 1.5 was my preferred project car, but the rotted out Magnette came up first. The other contender was a Standard 10.

That Riley must have been a handful, and fun.
Graet atmosphere in the pics.

It went very well Bruce. Then Alan fitted the engine to a Brabham single seater - and added Nitrous Oxide! Sadly he passed away several years ago.

I took more photographs at Goodwood on the Friday than the other two days, and it was also the only day I could get to the chicane grandstand, so I made the most of it.
