Morning all, hope someone can help.

My Dad won the 1979 modified midgets (sounds bad don't it) championship back in 79/80 I believe. He now helps me out with my Caterham racing. He has a few photos from back in the day but I was wondering if I can't buy a few more. Does anyone remember who the clubman photographers were back then and are they still going?

Any help much appreciated.

Paul

Thanks everyone.

I have spoken to a few people, the problem I now have is I need a dates and tracks...which you can imagine isn't very easy. So anyway, trying to track down the dates from the 1979/80 series & ideally his race number per event (apparently used to change each round back then). If anyone has it or could imagine where I could get it from would be appreciated.

nice photo btw. Thats the sort of thing, although Dad's was quite a bit wider than that!

For reference i have tracked photographers from the time known to be there from a friend of Dad's

Fred Scatley - deceased
John Gaisford - sold a lot on to......

thanks. I have the information now and am waiting on the ferret! (not something I say everyday that!)

Yes it was 78 thanks. I've managed to get about 10 rounds where he raced over 78/79 so I should get something. Also got his race numbers and in one round he runs the same 32 as me so i really want a shot of that. Will put something up should I manage to get it.

as for coming along, both he and I would like that. Combe would of been ideal but we are racing at Oulton. Will have to see if your silverstone dates get confirmed.

Cheers
