I have started a spreadsheet listing regular driver/car combinations and their race numbers at known meetings (usually where I have a race programme). Very slow work but interesting. The digital age is so much easier.

With over 300 race programmes to wade through, ranging from prewar Donington, through many clubbie and international UK meetings, then sprint/hillclimb results sheets of my own competitions from the UK, it keeps me off the streets at night...
In thinking a bit more about it could have the 1983 Puke meeting a week prior to Easter. That was the meeting that Greg Lancaster dive bombed Harrington at the hairpin and the next week was spent splicing a new front on the Escort in time for Bay Park where Harrington and the Escort won the Championship from Reg Cook in the last race of the season in the wet.
