He rocks!
Nice photo, Rob.
Brooklands, 8 May 1931 I think, JCC Double Twelve Meeting, LeaF J Type, drivers Oetzman and Ivins, retired.
The VSCC runs a rejuvenated (and very different) Double Twelve meeting at Brooklands every June. See similar cars in action every year!
Mike - brilliant recall
Info I had was:
“Lea-Francis 1496S cc that was retired from the race due to engine issues at the Brooklands JCC Double Twelve”.
He was a good man
He wasn’t that good - this was a retirement…
Have you found some repository of vintage motorsport pics Rob?
For some reason that reminds me, we’ve not heard from Evosal for a while, I loved his ‘Barn Finds’ thread from a year or so ago,…
Top geeking, Rob.
You’ll be up with Chevron next!
Wow, Mike, how do you know all that stuff? Were you there??
Amazing Mike!
Interesting placement of the ‘back support cushion’
what happened to 17,18 and 19 ?
There were 8 classes in the race so it’s probably just a class break…
