It is with great sadness that I have read that Tom Dooley has died aged 90. Tom was one of the great legends of BRSCC, North Western Centre, being President for some years, and a stalwart power at Oulton Park. Perhaps someone can copy the BRSCC bulletin and post it here to formalise things.

For my part, he gave me assistance beyond my expectations when I started my research project years ago, giving me access to his Oulton programmes here at home. I suspect that that was symptomatic of his attitude to our sport and to enthusiasts.

I just thought that his passing should not go unmarked, sadly so closely after John Fielden, as I know they knew each other from way back when.
