Anyone got any pics or info on him or passenger Danny Coomber (or occassionally, Mick Coomber)?

He's my step dad, but through divorce we lost touch.
Out of childhood memories I went to the Festival this year (1st meet since watching as a kid) and ended up buying a half share in a P2 classic, which we intend to race with crmc next season :lol: . Thanks to Nick R for that :!:

Anyway, for this reason, I'd love to find out more.
Anything out there?
Cheers
Nick

Not surprising really, as from my memory, I remember many weekends at those 2 circuits and solitary visits to Crystal Palace and Mallory. I know in the 70s he tested on the M23 before it was opened!

He told me he was quick, but you know what dads tell their sons :D

Always good to hear good words - thanks. :)
