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.
The GOAT
First F1 meeting i went to, after that definitely a Stuart Smith fan R.I.P smithy the real number 1
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?

Smith was the greatest. #1
Good race, pity the camera person decided to point the camera at stationary cars when things were getting hot
