HI,
I came across this forum whilst looking for info relating to a sidecar crash at mallory park, Pat sheridan was driving and my father was in the sidecar. Unfortunately I have very little info to go on as my father's memory of the accident is hazy to say the least, he suffered massive head injuries in the accident and was in a coma for 3 weeks following the crash, he had to re- learn how to walk/talk/speak ect.
As he has got older the injuries he sustained have impaired his memory and in the nicest possible sense his mental ability.
He does remember that the crash was in some local papers, he seems to think it was between 1966/68, (he was roughly 18 at the time) and it was at Mallory park.
I have trawled the internet endlessly for info regarding the crash/newspaper cuttings but have come to a dead end time after time, I did discover that pat had died sometime later. My dad talks endlessly about the crash and often asks me if I have been able to come up with anything so I thought as a last ditch effort I would try posting on here and see if anyone can help me/remembers anything or could point me in the direction that may give me some info. I have tried looking through old local newspapers but he cannot remember which one/s it appeared in.
His name is John Bird and he was living in Cannock staffordshire at the time of the crash.
Any info would be greatly appreciated
Thankyou
