So here's a picture of the good Sir in his prime, before he got all soft and took to cars

And to think Roy Smart (GTD owner and club chair) used to race bikes against Surtees in this period and when Brands Hatch used to circulate in the opposite direction to todays races! Roy once told me the story when they both had tumbled off at the same corner and sat chatting on the tyre wall. John was not keen to go back to the pits as his Dad was going to give him a right ear bashing for falling off. Sat the race out with Roy which Roy enjoyed knowing already that Surtees was a name for the future.
