Red Panda Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I remember there being talk about it but what the team was called I have no idea.............. If I am honest I thought it never got off the ground and if it did it was earlier than the late 70's early 80's...................

BobC Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 The team were known as The Junior Pirates.I think they raced in about 1972. They raced in the reverse colours of the Pirates: White background with blue skull and crossbones. Riders who plied their trade then included Martin Yeates,Steve Lomas,Steve Claridge,Russell Foot,Melvyn Soffe and others. I will have to look up my programmes when I get home!

Sotonian Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Another was Dave Buttigeig (sp) who went on to become a karting legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucinda7770 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 It was definitely Matchams Park. The names all bring back memories! Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
