Clinty Quarry - N. Ireland
Trawling through my archives I came across a photo taken in 1968 whilst I was on secondment to the Belfast office of the Birmingham-based company I worked for at the time. This was before I started keeping proper records but I did record that it was taken on 23/11/68 at a Mid-Antrim Slalom at Clinty Quarry. I have no programme from the meeting but I believe the pic. shows Ronnie McCartney in the ex-works Paddy Hopkirk 1967 Acropolis-winning Cooper S which I believe Ronnie bought from BL presumably end 1967/early 1968.
As this is of historical interest to me (the only motorsport pic. I took in N.I.) I am keen to get more info on both the history of Clinty Quarry as a motorsport venue and about McCartney's time as custodian of this car (which I believe does still exist). |
