PJMiddleton Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hi, I'm the son of Norton rider Peter Middleton. A feature-length documentary called "The Fastest Lap" is being made that is to cover motorcycle racing in the late 50's and early 60's, mainly at Oliver's Mount, Mallory Park, Cadwell Park and the Isle of Man. If you were a rider, race official or even a spectator during this period, who would allow an interview, please let me know. I'm willing to travel anywhere in the UK for just an hour of your time. Best Regards, Pete Middleton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I'm an old git and I wasn't born until 1957 so there won't be many left but the best of luck and I hope you find a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith1200rs Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I looked through my father's old photos from Oliver's Mount but couldn't find any of Peter Middleton. I think the photos are a little too early- mostly 1949. My father was a press photographer in Scarborough then. Sorry I couldn't help.

Thanks for the comment, Goat! - You can find it on IMDB although the release date isn't scheduled until December 2022 (although it may take longer than that, thinking about it!) 3 hours ago, S-Westerly said: I'm an old git and I wasn't born until 1957 so there won't be many left but the best of luck and I hope you find a few. Thanks for your comment, S-Westerly. You're right, there isn't many left. I think it would widen my chances by trying to interview son's and daughters of these legends. 2 hours ago, keith1200rs said: I looked through my father's old photos from Oliver's Mount but couldn't find any of Peter Middleton.

It's a breath of fresh air hearing of something "earlier" than what I'm looking for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
