I have a poster of a Manta that was in Carsport from a round of the NI championship in the early 90's, I will have a look and see who took it. (It may be Stephen Mawhinney though not Emerson)

I know Trevor Foster was one of the photographers taking photos for Carsport of the National championship in that era.

Maybe it was 1992 then so, as he wasn't a 00, unlike the pic posted by Martin there. It was the same year as he broke his arm on Hornhead when he got here pulled into a ditch on the driver's side. Think it was 1992 now come to think of it.

When I say a poster - well, a centre page spread type thingy.

Indeed, the same man who brought a bit of bother on himself on the Circuit with the old pacenotes. (Apparently) :whistle:
