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.

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.

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? |
