Dick Smith Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 More Crystal Palace (but a rotten picture).Where else would you find a full-race A35 these days?[IMG]http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/dick_at_aulton/CPalace3.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 This could be the same meet Jude and I went to. I'm sure there was a Rolls limo or something similar did a run - ring any bells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 This was taken on the Thursday afternoon practice, was back up and running for the race. Poor Huge Chamberpot - has not luck at LM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 You'll love this then guyshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWp-0TuY4SkI used to live just down the hill from good old CP. "Anti noise" lot killed another great circuit. As if London wasn't loud enough. But, there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 It could well be the same meet. I'll try and find our photos over the next week for comparison but can't promise anything - I've lost a lot of old photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP held some great races in the sixties - did anyone else see Graham Hill lose a wheel on a F2 Lotus and steer through the bridge abutments? He then walked over to the crowd (no question of stopping the race) and started signing autographs. Or Jochen Rindt in a Winkelmann Lotus? Early outings by James Hunt? Seeing Ford Falcons chasing Ford Anglias? Great days.At least the 'residents' didn't manage to get Brands closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't have the sound on as Jude's watching telly. Was the great Sir Stirling among the competitors? I have a vague inkling that he raced at the Palace around that time.

Dick Smith Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 According to the note on the back of the photo this is Colin Crabbe driving a 2.5 litre Maserati 250F in the Evening News Trophy at Brands Hatch on the 7th April, 1969.[IMG]http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/dick_at_aulton/richard005.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Well I'm glad it has something to do with France, isn't that the Eiffel Tower in the background ?Sorry, I missed a page, I was referring to the last picture on the previous page. I think I'd better go to bed ! [:$] Edit: Now I'm on the right page, loved your film Cooperlola, brought back some memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Dick, to answer your question, a few memories. I first saw Jackie Stewart racing a mini at Rufforth! I saw Brian Redman total a Galaxy at Old Hall. I have a picture of David Piper at Oulton Park sitting on the bonnet of what was then a brand new 250 LM. Yes, I watched Mr Hunt in the early days - somewhere I have a Hesketh Superbear Racing T-shirt! Many, many times watched J Clark, Graham Hill, John Surtees et al. Bonkers about motor racing since the age of 5 when my Dad first took me. He used to co-drive at local rallies and marshal during the RAC (in the days when it was a proper rally.) I'll never forget the first time he drove me down the Mulsanne straight in a Ford Anglia with my mother and sister in the back seat wondering what all the fuss was about. 1962.Cassis, as you no doubt gathered that was the greatest driver of them all -JC- with the back end of his Lotus Cortina hanging out all over the place. My, could he play tunes on that car. No mention of Stirling (my father's middle name by the way!) Moss on the sound track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Andy, was that a 950 side valve? That was my first car and it didn't go as well as that one. Fantastic. The only sprint/hillclimbs I ever did, apart from my TC, were in a Jeffery/Reliant 850. Great fun. 130mph with yer bum about 3 inches off the ground...
