Great times Martin. Steve and Braggo would have been laughing the whole race.
An OAP 1-2 and our first Mini 7 Championship.

Steve Bell makes his race debut below in Chris Tyrrell's Mini Se7en in 1982.
Steve had been Chris's race mechanic for several years.

Bit ironic after reading this thread I thought I had read some where Steve died but I did have this shot of him at Mallory Park I took many years ago. I have sent it to Mab01UK. Not the best quality as it was taken using an old 35mm camera with a zoom and scanned from a photo.
