Found this rare photo of the Avalon Racing Chevron B8 [driven by me] at Zandvoort and next to is it the Pico Troberg Lola T70 Mk3b [driven by Ronnie Peterson] The Lola was written off by Ronnie in Zeltweg later that year when the rear suspension broke and it rolled over. Lola rebuilt the car with a new body and tub but Pico failed to pay for it and they sold it to Avalon Racing. It was like a brand new car with the old engine and gearbox.
Great photo turned up on FB of the Avalon Racing Chevron B8 FVA.
Being pushed in the paddock by the late Tony Gale. You see David Piper’s Lola T70 Mk3b in the garage behind and his Dodge truck in his green BP colours.
Just found this great shot of the pits in Buenos Aires 1970 with Ken Cheshire, Tony Gale and Ed Swart. Sadly not the best quality photo but worth posting all the same, RIP Ken and Tony.
Here we see Tony with the winning Chevron FVA 1969
It is with great sadness that we heard today, 3rd June 2021 that we lost one of our dear team members, Tony Gale. To his wife Subi and family we offer our sincere condolence at this very sad time.
Thanks to Ian Hind of Perth Australia here is a fine photo of the Bizarre model 142 of the class winning Lola T290 FVA from the 1972 24 hour race.
More sad news today, the passing of the great Murray Walker, this makes three of the senior members of the BRDC have passed away within three weeks. Murray was the great age of 97.
This is too sad, one of the BRDC’s oldest members passed away suddenly on Monday 8th March. Keith had been a BRDC member since 1959, some ten years before me. His life long friend Chris Craft had died just 17 days before Keith, to loose both of them is just too sad. They had worked together in Motor Sport for so long. see this: https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/may-2012/108/lunch-with-keith-greene-chris-craft?fbclid=IwAR00zadQjbhN2HuDZm1ZnCE_JGqBQ3wSCi0YHHytb56HDW8sbbkKKyUCsIQ
This photo dates back to 2010 when Chris was making the very last batch of Rocket cars and I made a visit at that time , fortunately Marie-Therese was there to capture the event.
