Details taken from a 1968 programme of Severn Valley's race meeting at Longdon Nr Upton upon Severn. This appears to show that Phil Dyke shared the race car H58 with his father Bill Dyke who raced under the number H59 - which is the reason why there appears to be two different numbers on the Dyke mobile for that era.
Results for Tom Davis found in the Western Valley report for 31/8/1969.

This car appears to be closer to the ground! A good sunny days racing and a good dry track.
This picture was also supplied by Jacob Williams. John's number was always 717. It is beleived that he carried this number through from Thomas Chapel days to Hereford to PHD. It is believed that John's eldest son Jonathon also raced under the number 717. Jacob remembers that his father mentioned that he had been British Champion during his racing career and there are several trophies that were awarded to John. Jonathon continued his racing career until the late eighties/early nineties.
