Remember it well from the 60s as it was the place in a bank holiday national meeting that I got enough points on my national license to qualify for my full international licence.As the S&D MCC website says,the surface in those days was pretty awefull with plenty of holes and loose tarmac,but that was no different from many ex wartime airfield circuits. Last time I raced there it was a wet freezing day and I enjoyed the company of Paddy Driver trying to keep warm in the back of my Ford Thames(most racers had one) He had arrived recently from warmer climates and he shivered all day.
Wheres Percy Tait? Saw him last November looking well at the TTRA dinner.Same rough diamond Percy, lovely chap believe he is still tending his pigs in Warwickshire.
