hi people just having a look about and picked up on this thread. im the bloke running third in the vid and remember the race quite well. It all brought a lump to my throat as Brett was such a really nice person and although we were not close friends, he was always chatty when we met although only for a brief time for obvious reasons. i was upset badly at the time and also when craig died as well that upset me as we both started riding together at mildenhall as fen tiger cubs in 1976. i remember them both with fond memories.

riders that had individual styles so you knew who they were, ladies in tight blue levis, bikes that looked like speedway bikes, big large crowds, pints of bitter that were not chilled and in glasses with handles, tracks that had decent shale on them, bikes without silencers, one off world finals. it really was that good then, beam me back scottie!
