Separate class for modsports ! - ( giving my age away ) I remember propping up the fence at Druids watching full grids of modsports races - quite often with a Mr J Palmer driving a Marcos . Good racing, and midgets faster than they had any right to be - two exceptionally quick ones - one I believe was a mr Cutler - can't remember the other one. do any of the cars / drivers still exist ? What caused the decline - as I remeber, they had to be steel bodied, and therefore cheaper to develop that the special saloons of the day.
Did Barry Barnes ever run an Elan at Brands - I seem to remember an Elan running against the BMW works team at an international Brands race, and BMW getting all ****ty about it, as the elan was beating them - I believe they protested the thing and got it chucked out ( could be my memory playing tricks on me - ah pass me my carpet slippers ! )
