Personal photos of British club racing

What about 749 ? Alan i have a magnifing glass on the pic and it may be a 9 at the end.

Why didn't I think to check the DVLA site

A Mike Whatley did win the TGP F1 championship not sure it is the same one though!

I'm trying to figure out first and subsequent owners of a Marcos Fastback which I am restoring, registration number 999 THY. I am not a UK resident and the car was exported from the UK back in 1986. Anyhow, I made an effort through the DVLA but got the answer "this service is only available to residents in the UK" or something similar . Anyone who can help or any idea about how to proceed?

What I know is that the car was first registered in 1963 in Bristol. I have been told there was a gentlemen from Bristol called Arnold Denman who raced a Marcos Fastback in British club racing back then. Could have been my car. Anyone who has any records of the racing exploits of Mr Denman (and what he raced)?

It's not on the DVLA registration database. Probably because it's been exported

Good Friday Oulton Park Formula 'E' race.

I think these are Kit Cars or Road Going Sports Cars from a 750MC meeting at Cadwell in the 80's.

I've no idea who's driving what

First photo looks like a Sylva Leader 400 ahead of a Westfield XI whilst the 2nd and 3rd photos look to be of Westfield XIs.

Mike Whately was a former chairman of the 750 Motor Club came from Holmfirth in Yorkshire.
Raced a Formula 4 which ended up in a lake at Cadwell having vaulted a barrier. Also the afore mentioned Scimitar SS1.
Had the last time he attended our local rally and huge American Buick car if you like the US version of a Early Rolls Royce.

Tha ts not a problem glad to help .
I was the 750 MC 's race control radio operater for nearly 10 years and a marshall for a long time before that.


The Cadwell picture is Nigel Brown' s Silva leader 400 and i think Ken Culverwell's Lotus 11 no 6 and Mick luck ? in the other Lotus 11 all kits of course not genuine 11 s.

Good Friday Oulton Park Formula 'E' race.

Old Hall lap 1

Is 85 Austin Kinsella on a day when his car looked very clean, or hadn't yet been Ecclestoned?
Charles Jordan in the No.7 Crossle and I've no idea who is driving the big red shovel on the left of shot.
A few laps later and Alan Raine can be seen taking a wide line at Old Hall.

I'm guessing at Simon Olley in No.23
And is No.87 The bloke from North Lancashire that got Crossle to build him a brand spanking new 32F? I bet that wasn't cheap.

I think he ended up wedged 6ft up in the trees at Cadwell after going over the barrier. The incident was the subject of one of Catchpole's cartoons in Autosport.

I was marshaling at Hall bends one day when in an F2000 race an American whos name i forget as it was a northern championship race if i remember correct. His Reynard' s suspension collapsed and with zero ground clearence it slide literally down the little muddy track infield and into the hedge.

The tow truck arrived as we had slide the car back onto tarmac , the driver was just a lttle shaken, it was one of those trucks with the spectacle lift.

They attached the rope to the roll bar and got the wheels in the spectacle bit lifted and said car slide straight off . Three times the same result, till they sent for the Hiab to remove it .

Oh i forgot to add it was raining.lol

I may have to start a marshaling tales thread.

Pete,

Just think that if all you marshals spent less time faffing about saving peoples lives, waving flags and clearing up debris, you could have had some very nice and exciting photos to show us.

I think it may well be the infamous Hunt muscle flexing meeting. I went to almost all the CP meetings from it..

Rather dark images but a Vauxhall Viva GT no idea who or when but its Snetterton.

Looks more like a Winter Series type of free for all , but did think that only took place at Brands.

It is with great interest that I await Simon's ramblings on this Sundays Welsh "type of free for all"

How's the entry looking?

Varied to say the least ......three Hillman Imps entered

Looks like there is still room for a multi - coloured PRS in the FF1600 race
