Bank Holiday at Goodwood: A Thrilling Battle for Second Place between R.D. Poore and Leslie Johnson This photograph, taken at the iconic Goodwood Circuit during a Bank Holiday race meeting, showcases an intense battle between two legendary racers: R.D. Poore in his 3.8 Alfa-Romeo and Leslie Johnson in the E-type 1 1/2 litre E.R.A. The image captures the moment they top St. Mary's Corner, their determination etched on their faces as they vie for second place behind R. Parnell. Their high-stakes struggle is a testament to the high standard of driving that drew massive crowds to the Duke of Richmond's aerodrome circuit. Poore and Johnson's cars, adorned with the grit and determination of the race, are a sight to behold. The Alfa-Romeo's sleek design and the E.R.A.'s classic lines are a nod to the rich history of motor racing. Poore's helmet and goggles, Johnson's helmet and the worn tyres on both cars speak volumes about the grueling nature of the race. In the end, Poore manages to edge out Johnson by a mere two seconds, securing his place on the podium. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when racing was about skill, determination, and the thrill of the chase. The photograph's historical significance is evident in its depiction of two iconic racers locked in a fierce battle, a testament to the enduring allure of motor racing. This image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, is a must-have for any racing enthusiast or history buff, offering a glimpse into the past and the excitement of a bygone era.
