Racing Records at Goodwood
where can I get a copy of Robert Barkers Book? It seems that the illustrated history is easy to get (and a great book) but the racing records book is as rare as rocking horse....!

Hate to say it, Simon, but they printed a mere 100 copies of it (mine is #34, and I had to pre-order it 9 months before printing).
If I do get wind of one, I'll surely let you know, but they are very expensive already. |

That sounds like a plan!
I can't offer you the book itself, but I'm sure on March 23rd I can come up with copies of all the references to meetings your car took part in. |

That would be great - looks like I will owe you a pint for this!
as for the early history 1957-1961 Alan Murdoch 1961-2 Ken Simmons 1962 Graham Capel/Bob White (maroon with blue stripe) 1963 Bob White/Brian Hegbourne Colour not known 1964 Graham Capel (David Plumstead Racing)Blue with white stripe In addition to the histoy you gave to me before do you have a record as to the colour it was then as it is currently bare metal so this is the chance to put it in period livery. thanks for your help Tim |

Um, Simon, you know you said March 23rd for the opening race....
My copy of Motor Sport this month says Saturday 22nd for the Silverstone meeting. Might it be worth giving someone a call....? |

I am pretty certain it is on Sunday but i met someone at the weekend who races minis and they are racing on Saturday so maybe it is a two day meeting. I should get the entry forms either today or tomorrow so i will confirm when I know

apoligise I forgot to come back. Thanks Ted, glad someone is on the ball!
the race is a dbl header and qualifying and racing is on Sunday. I expect it to be a baptism of fire and very different from racing the Alfa! |

Sounds like we could well have quite a gathering all told. Simon, when entering the 50s sports cars, there's only one thing to remember - look out for nice Mister Sytner....

a case of "whose afraid of the big bad wolf...."!! I think that for the first few races I will be trundling along at the back getting used to the car so dont expect anything dramatic! I will be testing on 21st which will be the first time I will drive the car so its a steep curve to be racing it on Sunday!
