Welcome to Barrie Smith’s
homepage
The pages on this site are about motor sport in the 60’s and 70’s, details of Barrie's active years in motor sport with some comments from those who were there, which we hope conveys how racing was in those days. It includes details and pictures of the cars, the people involved and how a small private team with limited finances could race with the works teams, travel the circuits and compete.
Motor sport was a way of life in the 60's and 70's.
Barrie had a passion for driving cars and a fascination for racing cars ever since he can remember.
He used to race Dinkies at school, oiling the hubs which made a huge improvement to their performance.
There were always gains that could be made, he was tweaking toy cars at prep school but of course such a word was not in the dictionary in those days.
