Other early riders there were Pip Austen, Colin Clark, Fred Stubberfield, Brendan Shillito, John Douglas, Duane Kent, Dave Basson, Dave Cullen, Steve Davey and Nigel Sparshott. In 1983, the Thomases (Barry and his brother Ivor) organised the juniors in to teams called The Mustangs, the Shires, The Stallions and the Colts, Riders included Ray Morton and Chris Mulverhill (Mustangs), Paul Whittaker and Mark Fordham (Shires), Terry Mussett and Paul Tillman (Stallions) and Paul Muchene and someone called Mark Loram (Colts).

norbold Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Well, I can help you out with some, but I expect you know those as well as me! As for the others...Perhaps Bryn might know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireblade Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Chris Mulvihill had spells at Eastbourne and Boston. Didn't Mick Cmier switch to road racing and isn't he related to current British Championship rider Leon Camier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Paul Dowdall and Rocky Coutts were juniors at Wimbledon in 1973,maybe earlier.Pip Austin as well,so they wouldn`t have started in '75.In fact Dowdall at least had made a few appearances for the Dons by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
