it was raining that bad he didn't present me the trophy till we were all inside the build. you know how much money i got,..... f all . was just happy to get too ride in a proper 😆 meeting.
i was the Jim Bowen champion in 85. rode in very very wet conditions, a very young Gary Havelock rode in that meeting and his dad pulled him out after a couple of rides.
it was a couple of hours after it had finished, so was watching it on replay. just guessing how far forward it went, because it was nearly 4 hours long, you didn't have to move it forward much, to cut out the other stuff.
