Mallory Park
« on: March 23, 2011, 09:20:52 am »
I have been reading elsewhere that general testing takes place every wednesday at Mallory Park.

Never been, but seen photos that include a wonderful arry of cars, most recently Abba Kogans collection of Matra sportscars and F1's and many other 70's and 80's F1's.

I cannot verify it but today I think may have a turnout of Grp c and historic touring cars.

So if your passing the area it may be worthwhile to pop in. Dont know if its free.

I love Mallory, I went to my very first motor race there in 1971!

Wow, we started watching the same year then, my debut was 1971 at the 1000 km Nürburgring :D

1971 was a good rookie year for a few of us then, my first race was the 1971 Mid Ohio Can-Am, won by some guy named Jackie Stewart.

I've still got the programme, also for the GP that year, and the 1000km programme for 1970.
The 1970 programme has a lap chart we did and also shows the time intervals between cars !!

For some reason I gave up with the lap chart after two laps in 1971 !!

Have you every thought of writing a book? cant be that many marshals been around for as long as you and to have travelled so far an wide.

Maybe even just a short piece for Motorsport?
