Yes that's one of John's dashing poses. I've invited him to Blyton and hopefully Bob Fox will be back.

If you check the Shows, Races and Event section on the main site you'll find a scan of the programme and a copy of the event poster from the 1968 event.

I remember reading that Rhodes was parachuted in last minute (not literally!) for the '67 race in a works car when it looked like Mike Young's Anglia might win the touring car race, which he didn't, just!

Door handle not in proper race position



Everyone to wear ties at Blyton?
