Hi,quick introduction to all,I,m a previous owner/racer of Barrys JGS.I,m replying to a post made on the 750 formula forum which for some reason I,m unable to access.The request for past history of the car was made back in 2012 (we dont rush things here in Wales).Anyway I jointly owned the JGS from the mid seventies up until the late nineties.There is a comprehensive history available and hope someone can put me in contact with Barry.Regards Baz

Hi Barry,thought I needed to reply if nothing else to wish you and your team all the very best for the Birkett Quite amazing some 37 years ago 1977 Donington Park October 8th I was suffering probable the same butterflies in stomach as hopefully you are!Know this might stir a few memories JGS 111 driven by myself Barry Walker was part of the Tunbridge Wells team.Our very well organised team manager was Bill Mallet very helpful and knowledgeable guy.He put the team together other drivers and cars were Richard Brewer Arcos Mk6c- Dave Hines - Uranus Adamas -Trevor Slatter-Kraken JS1 -Mike Peck-Mongoose- David Elmer Contard Mk 1.If my memory serves me JGS 111 returned the best lap times and as such team manager instructed us to complete the final laps.(the handicappers obviously got things wrong cause we finished well down the leader board)Whotever this was the best race experience I had.Must mention co owner at the time and brilliant spanner man Pete Hawkins sadly no longer with us.Again hope this may bring back a few good memories and hope JGS performs well .All the best to all club racers Regards Baz
