Depending on how long ago the pics were taken, and therefore whether its John Cleland or Pete Stevens driving the Carlton Thundersaloon, if you have any more of it, I would love to see them. Pete was one of my Father in Laws best mates from his Oval Racing days, but Pete passed away from Covid at the start of the pandemic, so any time I come across any pics of him/his cars on the internet I have been showing him.

Thanks for sharing these. I wonder what the white and yellow cars in the background are (or rather used to be)? |

Would love to know a bit more about this!
Also, the Thundersaloons at Brands, we used to go and see them as kids. We were probably at the same meetings!

Pete was one of my Father in Laws best mates from his Oval Racing days, but Pete passed away from Covid at the start of the pandemic, so any time I come across any pics of him/his cars on the internet I have been showing him. It is from when Pete Stevens was running it. Not sure I have any more beyond those two. I need to get the other photo albums from my dad though. Pete's car now belongs to a chap called Neil Duke, who I'm hoping to convince to bring it to one of our events next year. I wonder what the white and yellow cars in the background are (or rather used to be)? They are modsport Metros as daver555 said. The yellow one is Chris Welfair (name may be spelt wrong, but is what I was told). The white one is "Bessie" belonging to Bill Richards, which he is still racing today. Would love to know a bit more about this! So that is David Ellis' Aston Martin, which was so dominant in AMOC that it was banned (or so that's how the story goes). He went on to develop the GT700R : astonmartins.com/car/v8-gt700r/ |

Here's the yellow Welfare Metro.  At least one ex-Neil Duke Maguire space-frame Metro-BDH is now owned (or was owned relatively recently) by Richard Sadd. Pics from CSCC facebook group  |

I've got similar (though not quite so good) photos that I took at a very wet Oulton Park in the eighties, if I recall correctly they also feature the yellow Aston and that E-type. I'll have to find them and scan them - I've not done so far because they're quite dark and blurry, enough to get little sarcastic stickers on them from when the chemist processed them.
The Marsh Plant Aston in the third photo is still going, I saw it at Donington not very long ago. It was driven by Gerry Marshall quite a lot.
(@hotwire, if I get chance to scan any, should I start a new thread or stick them in here for similar content?)

Just quoting this for the flywheel shot. Well, "flywheel", anyway.  |

The VK Commodore in the 4th photo has been restored and is now back in Australia.  |

Did I imagine seeing something like that at Oulton Park in the last few years? I was trying to find a photo unsuccessfully.
