Who Where & When?

[Jim Blanchard]

A photo of mine I found today. I guess to many on here they will know the answer and it will be easy but even though I took the shot, I do not remember who won the meeting or the circumstances apart from the track so information will be appreciated.

 

If there is any interest in them - I may post a few more like this up to Christmas just for a little fun:

Looks like an Inter continental Final from White City, Jim. I will go for 79, because I can just about see Kelly Moran behind Gordon Kennett, not sure who won it though DJ, PC or Lee

I'll go with White City too. I'd go a year earlier though at '78 (but a pure guess). I think I can see Ila Teromaa hiding behind Mike Lee. Some famous faces from years gone by there.................

Yep, I'm pretty sure it was the 1978 I-C Final also, as that is Ila Teromaa.

I'd go with 1979 I/C final at the WC.

Didn't Ila Teromaa make the 1978 World final, so 1978 looks a good bet.

 

I recognise everyone except the guy behind Peter Collins. Mike Lohmann perhaps? Or am I just being a bit dim?

Thanks for the info Jeff. I knew it was White City but was not sure about all the riders or the year.

 

Here is another shot from the same meeting.

I think this is Billy Sanders and Kelly Moran. I can just remember that I went with a group of friends from a village in Norfolk, but one was not able to attend, so we tried to give away his ticket to anyone in the queue, but everyone refused it.
