I have lots of results from Rufforth between 1966 and 1977, though mostly special saloons, if you would like copies. Also quite a few reminiscenses. Are you going to publish your piece? |

Did those rallies a few times. Sometimes the weather was good, but invariably cold and wet, even snow once, which made it interesting. Always enjoyed the meeting as most of cars were classic rally cars.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12591286/ One of the first episodes, they went to Augusta. Neatest thing from the show was the concrete letters they had on the wall out front were still there, because no one is going to move gigantic concrete letters!! Can't find a google image off hand. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12824604/?ref_=ttep_ep4 |

A little more info on the track: https://bringatrailer.com/2022/10/22...at-the-bridge/ Neat old track map: https://bringatrailer.com/wp-content...size=620%2C477 Great video of the Cam-Am race held there in 1967. https://www.facebook.com/GLSmith9823...18292175048529 Paul Newman quote about taking a first ride around the circuit w/ Mario Andretti Quote:
