TonyMac Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Wonder if anyone can help with any info at all... One of our readers has been in touch to try and find all she can about a Rayleigh rider with the surname 'Thackery' or something similar (before anyone asks, it's not Alf Viccary). All she can give us to go on is that (she thinks) the mystery man rode for Rayleigh around 1951, and that he came from New Zealand. Terry Stone doesn't recall the name, but can anybody else shed any light on this man... Cheers, Tony Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellsgranny Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Nearest I've got on my database is Ray Thackwell, a New Zealander who rode for Rayleigh, Cardiff and St. Austell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for that - it's a start. Does 1951 at Rayleigh sound about right for him? Edited May 14, 2008 by tmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star ghost Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I think Ray was also involved with midgets at Wimbledon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMac Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) Fair point. Would anyone who has anything useful to say please PM me instead of speculating on the forum itself. I've now edited my previous post and would please ask JC and Chunky to do the same. Sorry lads! Many thanks.

Bavarian Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hasn't his son Mike Thackwell been a Formula 1 driver in the 1980's ? Anyone remember him ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
