Mickey Finn 22 Dec 2005, 13:27 Hi, I'm asking this on behalf of my old man (no pun intended) Tony Shaw. He raced in the 60's and 70's in E-types, Capris and a Chevvie Camero. We've been on ten tenths before to find out some times for him from a Touring car race in the 70's but now I'd like to know if any of you very knowledgable chaps who helped us out with that then might have photos from the Chevron oils Production sports car champs in the 60's / 70's. It would be great to let him have some more photos so he can continue to tell me how good he was and how many times he beat Warren Pearce, John Quick, Shaun Jackson and the rest!!!... I've managed to get some Autosports and books and over the years on E-types, one that cost me an arm and a leg actually but he's running out of stories and I reckon I've heard them all! If anyone remembers him and maybe has a few stories that would be good also as I get the impression he was a bit of a tearaway!
Anyway your help would be much appreciated as I've got to spend Christmas listening to racing stories and I get enuff racin everyday thanks! Cheers and merry Christmas, Tony Shaw (jnr) Manor Motorsport
Al Weyman 22 Dec 2005, 18:24 Its Chevy Camaro Tony, Camaro!!!! Why does everyone do that :-(
The STIG 22 Dec 2005, 18:54 because cameros are not exactly large in number over here?
Al Weyman 22 Dec 2005, 18:58 I've got 4!!!:-)
falcemob 22 Dec 2005, 19:28 Its Chevy Camaro Tony, Camaro!!!! Why does everyone do that :-(
Same reason they write license instead of licence and Mitsibushi instead of Mitsubishi, they can't spell. Oh, and lense is another one.
David McKinney 22 Dec 2005, 19:42 Same reason they write license instead of licence
License is the correct spelling of the verb (and "licence" the noun)
In American English, license is the correct spelling of the noun
But let's not go any further down that route :yawn:
The STIG 22 Dec 2005, 20:05 I've got 4!!!:-)
Crikey! all racers?
John Turner 22 Dec 2005, 20:10 Ok, enough of the spelling lessons for poor old 'Mickey' (Tony Junior) ;) ; can anyone help him? I remember seeing his Dad with E-type but, sadly, have no pictures.
Al Weyman 22 Dec 2005, 21:26 Sorry I was only joking Tony, 3 are racers Stig, ones a doner (breaker for parts), and just to finish, Camaro is how the yanks spell it and as they invented it thats fine by me! Sorry no pictures Tony.
The STIG 22 Dec 2005, 22:09 Capri I can find : http://f3history.co.uk/Racingpics/bh_roc74/support/capri01.jpg
unfortunalty that's about it. no e-type... sorry.
Mickey Finn 23 Dec 2005, 12:18 Dorry about spelling although I have been spelling Renault, Reno and Yellow, Yello for years!
Thanks for the photo, not sure who that is but I think my dads Capri was a Yello one sponsored by FADs Homecare, loads of rubber down in them days!!
Look forward to seeing more piccies and hearing a few stories.
Cheers and thanks again
Tony
Alan Raine 23 Dec 2005, 13:14 Sorry I was only joking Tony, 3 are racers Stig, ones a doner (breaker for parts),
