Freaky, that second shot you posted is of my brother Carl, on the inside, team riding with Allan Grahame for Birmingham in 75?
Peter Craven in the last one.

Not a foto but I mention it here as is name and a few shots of his some of his creations have shown up in the last pages of this post. After a recent stroke Don Godden has passed away. Sorry, I have no more details.

That really is sad to hear.
A leader both on & off the track.

Freaky, that's a pencil sketch of Carl and he has the publication rights to that image.
Not that he'll be concerned, just a bit of trivia.
Are you staying at the track in Bris?

Guys,
Just checked the Pom Grasstrack forum and apparently Don Godden passed away on Saturday UK time.
He was a designer, constructor, engineer and above all , a rider par excellence, he will be sorely missed.
RIP Don
