Thruxton and NG Racing’s fast, flowing airfield circuit played host this time, and what a weekend it turned into – Mark Taylor took a hat-trick of wins, Mike Smith gave him more than a fright on both Sunday outings, and Alex Williams saved his best for last. No 350s on the entry list this time,…

East Fortune. The Bob Mac Memorial. A circuit soaked in history and atmosphere, and for those of us lucky enough to race there — one that will stay lodged firmly in the memory bank for a very long time. What a privilege, and what a weekend. Helped of course by Louise handing out £150 cash…

Storm ‘Dave’ provided the Arctic winds whilst Lansdowne action warmed the heart — a great spectacle with so many true classic machines being ridden as designed.

The preparation of body, mind and machine in readiness to test every sense, with reward in spades for the rider and supporters, every event a test like no other with little chance to predict the outcome. It might be just an observation, but like that one particular squirrel…
If Carlsberg made race meetings they would copy our Donington meeting ! What a corker. Always a Lansdowne favourite, the Donington Festival hosted by the CRMC was a belter with our’s a full grid of forty pilots, good weather and a great atmosphere, what’s not to like? Open pipes an option ensured noise a-plenty together…
Wow! what a fantastic weekend at the Bob Mac memorial meeting at East Fortune. Our first visit to this amazing event proved to be a real hit with both riders, supporters, spectators and the hosting ‘Scottish Classic Racing Motorcycle club’. Whilst the Scottish weather either fried, drowned or blew our wigs off, the welcome from…
