old time racing

[john333]

Check out this photo from the earlyish 80's

Can't remember everyones name, but from the left we have; Paul Gutteridge, Steve Haynes??, me (John Jones), Richard Johnson, PHIL BOOTH, Ian Littley and don't know.

The event was at Wollaton Park near Nottingham and think that was the A final line up. The Hotshot had just come out so guessing it was about '83?

It would have been 5 to 6 years since Phil had won the 1/8th circuit world championship so was quite amazing to be racing against him (and losing!) Attachment 36497

The 4th from the left looks more like Glyn Peglar?

I'll give you that, it does look like him but it's definitely Richard Johnson as I remember being stood next to him on the day

Glyn Peglar, now there is a name from the past! raced against him a couple of times in 1/12th scale

Hi John,


Yeah, i can confirm that's me second from the left although i can't remember the venue at all... But that could be an age thing

I guess it was like a Weston Park, Eastnor, Stoneleigh sort of event?

Can't remember the guys name far right either but i do remember him being a frequent racer.

Great pics though bud, keep them coming.


Steve.
