Dick Barker

Does anyone out there know where he is ???? He raced Brabhams late 60s early 70s.

Came from Stafford or somewhere nearby.
Not sure that Barker was his full name, think it was a double-barrelled thing that he contracted. Will try and confirm this in my notes at the w/end.

Richard Dickinson-Barker, I believe. Always wondered what happened to him, after he made the front pages of daily papers when his car was engulfed in flames at Crystal Palace.

Is this the same Dick Barker who also used to compete in FF1600 in the late 60's/early 70's? The same guy my dad knew as "dangerous Dick" ?

Late '60s early 70s would be dead right for Barker in FF1600
Think he was quick, but erratic.

LOts of stuff about Dick in "the other place" aka Atlas TNF. Just search for a thread called "Dick Barker driving Alexis mk15 Formula Ford".

I first saw Dick Barker in a Yellow FF1600 Alexis Mk15 at Oulton Park on 20th September 1969. The race had to be restarted due to a shunt before the first corner. In the restarted race Dick took a fine third place. He had been entered back in April for an FF1600 race at Oulton but non-started. :cool:
