This may seem silly, but I want to identify a tree that appears in
the

stock-car racing 1955-1975. Today I watched a video clip of racing
at
a track at Brafield in Northamptonshire, and lo and behold, even from
the in-car camera view, I instantly recognized a tree that grew at
the
edge of the stadium's property 45 years ago!

I could e-mail jpg's to any serious tree person. If anyone wants to
navigate through my rather clumsy and crowded website, here are the
