I can remember that Tony could be very quick.
Towards the end of the 1973 British F 5000 season I went to a race at Snetterton and in a race that included Peter Gethin, Teddy Pilette, Bob Evans etc. at the end of the first lap Tony Dean came around first and was so much faster than the rest of the field as my photo shows.
