Was wolfie driving Close's car ? I used to go to a pub in Starbotton near Kettlewell and could hear close testing at his premises just behind. I remember mellows car had to have an extra crank in the cab side so he could get in, he was a big lad !
I used to love Hyde Road, you could guarantee that at some time during the evening, there'd be a blues and twos going past on the main road ! Best racing though, much missed. A lot less stoppage than modern WFs , a better track ?
Brilliant, that brought back so many precious memories. Best man won. Again..
He made up so much ground, the master.
One of the great World Finals.
Would have been good to hear the cars though .
I was there aged 8. Look how full it is?
