That's a difficult one really, because I was in a different era, a different time. The rules were so much stricter then. That style of racing, what we called Stock Car tactics, were not allowed, and if you were cautioned, or called to see the Clerk Of The Course, and it was Don Truman, then watch out! In those days a Black Flag was used, rarely, and a heavy fine followed it IF after an investigation you were found guilty. Today of course, it really is ruled by TV isn't it. A great pity. I think

A family friend Vic Crapnell raced a Downton Mini Cooper S 1293 at Castle Combe, mid to late 60s, I remember seeing Brian Cutting racing a 1900 Martin enginined Anglia, he was always below the lap record in practice, Jonathan Buncombe and Richard Longman were always quick in Minis at the time,and local car dealer Ron Fry would race a mini, then a Ferrari 250LM in the sports car race, he later changed to Ford GT40s...Vince Woodman raced too in a Lotus Cortina. Did you race at Combe at all?

That's a difficult one. I raced in a different time, a different era. Rules were stricter then, and adhered to. If you were Black Flagged for Ungentlemanly Conduct, that was considered pretty bad. In my solid twelve years of motor sport, I rarely saw this type of stupidity. It was close as you know, my mates, Gerry Marshall, Pete Baldwin, and the rest of the lads, respected each other, and our cars, so, Stock Car tactics were not seen too often. So, in my opinion, yes. Thanks. Gerry.

@2000gpg Further to my earlier reply, I never did race at Combe. This was due to the Championships I was in were at most of the other circuits; Brands/Mallory/Snetterton/Oulton/Silverstone, and so on, and so on. I raced against Richard regularly, and also Jonathan on a weekly basis, both very quick minis. Ron, I recall, but not as a fellow club racer.Brian, yes in my earlier years, when I raced the big engined Anglias. Cheers! Gerry.

Thanks. I'm going again in a few weeks so I will. Yeah, I was going on The Smiler again and I saw you and came to talk to you. I told you I was going on it again and you said, "And they call me mad!" I waved to you on The Smiler at the vertical lift hill. I'll say hi the next time I come.

YES! September 1964 Brands Hatch. He was driving an 1132 cc Mini ( Cooper"S"). I was in another mini. That was when I raced mini's for about two years, before going Ford. I think we raced in the same races a few times, but that sticks in my mind. Give him my regards please matey. Gerry.

Hi Guys, I am still alive and kicking, so if you want to chat about the old pioneering days of Saloon Car Racing, just pop in and ask a question, or make a comment ( as long as it's sensible) and I will do my best to answer. Thanks for viewing. Gerry.

Am I right in saying that back in your days, drivers had more respect for each other on track than the dodgems driving style of todays BTCC.

This has got to be the best track video I've ever seen. At 4:55 the Jag should have reduced throttle and let the camera car pass. If you're not addressing the turns properly it's safer to fall in behind. At 9:28 is a fantastic move. Hitting that gearbox just right I say. Those Wolseley cars are real class - Someone should remake those cars with modern materials in a bi-turbo diesel AWD that can tow a jetski sized load. They would be a big hit at $15k.

Thanks ! - no the cars are not standard - all run lighter and more bhp + loads of extra go-faster goodies! They are considerably quicker than standard - especially the A35s and A40s!

What a cracking video, the Riley 1.5s that I drove never went round corners like that one.You were a bit daring overtaking the Jag, did you swap paint?
