Yes that's one of John's dashing poses. :lol: 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!

What was nice when I attempted my re-creation of the Bob Fox photo was that I got a copy from Bob which shows why I have been so unsuccessful all these years
