Coming through crystal clear

Sir,

Congratulations on a wonderfully-written evocation of the now sadly defunct racing circuit at Crystal Palace.

Unfortunately, I cannot count myself as one of the Palace’s spectators in its heyday. However, my familiarity with the area and experience of the modem-day sprint meetings at the track helped visualise the atmosphere and character so vividly portrayed in your piece.

Well done on a superb magazine. My only gripe is that it is too short.

I am, Yours etc, Simon Davis, St Albans, Hertfordshire
