no sorry Kev... that's not the one.

the meeting above was called the Grand Slam and was in 1987.

 

in 1986 they run a big tourny for juniors and called it the Junior Grand Prix. it was set out that we got a couple of qualifying rounds and the top points scorers went through to a grand final somewhere.

my 2nd round was supposed to be at Exeter which i was really looking forward to, but at the last minute it was swapped to Eastbourne :x

i had a run-in with Kevin Pitts in my 2nd or 3rd ride at Eastbourne and went head on into the fence, and so missed out on scoring.

Jimmy Goodsell. I remember him well...

 

Jimmy went on to be a passenger for Bill Beecham on grass. I recall him getting upset many times when his "pristine condition" white leathers got dirty. :shock:

that's the one Kevin...knew i could rely on you!! ;)

11 points... i thought it was 10! as i didn't finish one race.

in reply to Shazz.... i haven't a clue what i done really...never thought of keeping progs.. got the one from the Junior League Riders Championship at Milton Keynes and my NL debut at Berwick, but thats it really :-(

I'm not sure if it was Re-Run Steve, but someone definately did videos in the last couple of years @ Kingsmead.

 

LMAO if it wasn't Re-Run maybe it was one of our Riders, did just about everything else :P Sorry wicked sense of humour ;-) if you know what I mean :lol:

Was @ Rhodes Minnis on Sunday, met up with Raven who had bought along some of his old scrap books for Sidecar121. Well........me being nosy just had to have a look, the memories came flooding back of years ago, Pictures of Barney, Uncle Ted, Graham Miles, Graham Banks, Dave & Martyn Piddock, Merv Salt my god so many faces from the past some happy memories in the books. Got a bit choked at seeing some of the clippings but then that's me bladder to close to my eyes :oops: Hopefully it wont be too long before some of the footage will be added to the Canterbury website by Sidecar.

 

Rami I'm think Raven said that Kevin Brice is in Middlesborough will have to ask him again, was talking about so much I can't really remember all of what was said! :oops:

I'm working on but, I'm having a few probs with my scanner. I've tried hitting it, this gets it going for a few mins it then makes a few grunting noises :shock: and stops again. Technology :roll: Bah!!!

I'll do a re-install of the drivers and see if that helps. In the meantime please be patient...
