Shelsey Walsh

Post by peter rafter »

Shelsey Walsh.
I had occasion this week to attend a funeral in Worcester of an ex colleague who for many years was a leading light in Shelsey Walsh/Midland Auto Club. Many of the mourners were from Shelsey/Midland Auto Club including a few Morgan owners who asked after Peter Sargent, Chris Springill and Andy Green.
It was a grey day with sadly a grey crowd, but we were all of that age. There was some gallows humour as it was remarked that given the age and apparent condition of some of the mourners at the cemetery that "it was hardly worth our while going home" We agreed to attend the next one in motorised bath chairs.
Shelsey Walsh is is the oldest motor sport venue in continuous use in the world. First used in 1905, it is older than Indianapolis, Le Mans or Monza.
I recall a Morgan thrill on the hill in 2015.
regards
ps
I wonder if the Honda motor on my lawn mower will drive a bath chair, after all Honda do power Fi cars?
