Ronnie & Barbro Peterson

[ERC]

I built this Scalextric version of Donington, a year before it opened (I won't tell you what Tom Wheatcroft thought of my building abilities, but when I said it would at least be operational before his, he walked away laughing his head off!). We had a stand at their 1976 Racing Car Show, in conjunction with Donington Park as we knew that we would be the first car club to run an event at the rebuilt track. As you can see from the pic, Ronnie Petersen had a go, but local Super Saloon driver Mick Hill, held the record at that time.



All the older photographs on the stand were taken by my Dad, at the pre-war Donington events. Assisting with the stand contruction was the then NSCC secretary's wife, Judy Bragg.
