Silverstone was an
excellent day out, although nothing was arranged the
Chevron B8 drivers were there in force, Willie
Tuckett, Paul Vestey, Andrew Fletcher, Mo Skailles,
Pete Smith, Paul Ridgeway, John Burton to mention a
few. The classic LM races was contended by a large
field of 60's 70's racers, with a wide variety of
cars from GT 40, Lola T70 Mk 3b, Chevrons, Matras,
and a single Ferrari which stormed off into the lead.
but it did not last long, the real race was between
Barrie's old chum, John Burton, Chevron B26 and the
American star Bobby Rahl, Lola T290, with the latter
prevailing at the finish. It was a great 1 hour race
on the full GP circuit at Silverstone.
Barrie met Bobby Rahl for the first time and they are both pictured here.
