Was wolfie driving Close's car ? I used to go to a pub in Starbotton near Kettlewell and could hear close testing at his premises just behind. I remember mellows car had to have an extra crank in the cab side so he could get in, he was a big lad !
I used to love Hyde Road, you could guarantee that at some time during the evening, there'd be a blues and twos going past on the main road ! Best racing though, much missed. A lot less stoppage than modern WFs , a better track ?
