The late great gentleman of motor sport, Tony was a close friend of mine.
We all miss him. Unlike so many who have followed he was a genuine person with no pretension to being great. Which he certainly was.
Hopefully he will be remembered for his great achievements.

  Dear Mike,
  Thank you for the update. I have always had a soft spot for drag racing. I had the pleasure of photographing Don Gartlts twice.
  Regards Martyn.
