Just A Mix Of Pics - Ray Green Collection

For you Ray Bell.

August 1973. Saturday Sprint, two laps of the club circuit. My 998cc Mini Cooper was basically standard, other than twin 1.5" SU carbs instead of 1.25".

Sunday 26th, a round of the BARC Hillclimb Championship. A win for me Saturday, but Sunday, (different entrants) thrashed by the then current record holder, Mike Flather, driving for Aldon Automotive - but I don't think his was a road car. He was something like 11 seconds faster - on a 1500 yard course. Go figure. I finished 3rd out of 6 starters.

Straight after, I headed to Bournemouth, on the south coast, for a few days, having just resigned from the UK Prison Service under strange circumstances - but that is a story for another day and involved Lord Snowdon and a TV documentary.
