My Jim Clark Homage to Duns and Chirnside 22.04.17
Thanks for all the nice comments fellas. Kingfisher, those are great memories you have of actually seeing him behind the wheel back in the day. I would have loved that !
Yes Bottom. You are correct. There was a notice inside the entrance saying they had secured planning permission and funding. I found this BBC piece about the planned extension:

They'll have to get their finger out to get it completed for the 50th Anniversary next April though. Hope they can.

Thanks for that OP - great write-up.
My father was born North of the border and always reckoned Jim Clark was the best - spectacular talent, but he didn't seem to be aware of it!
