Good stuff ERC, Ray,
1973 - had started a couple of years before doing speed events in an 848 cc Mini.
Only mods 4.5 inch ( x 10 ) reverse rim Cooper S style wheel made by Dunlop [ same rim and centre ] -centre reversed to make the offset different to go over the drum brakes. Made them look like widened wheels ..
My results were not as good, but huge fun.

I was always a BRM fan (Dad's patriotic influence) and in 1966, attended the ORMA (Owen Racing Motor Association) awards night in London, heading down from Nottingham on my LE Velocette, staying at Baden Powell House. Using a borrowed camera (with just 10 flash bulbs in my pocket for the weekend) I did manage a few shots.
ORMA Secretary, Molly Wheeler hands the trophy to Graham Hill via Olympian Mary Rand, the first British female to win an Olympic gold medal in track and field. She remains the only Great Britain female athlete to win three medals in a single Games.
