Well that and the free council house with the job like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say I was a regular there, but I found it a very quick and easy run down the M4. Probably the last time I went there was a World Championship round, and if my memory serves me correctly, it was won by Andrew Silver. Can't remember what year, but it was on a Sunday. Grachan may be able to help me there! Regarding Silver, I never really took to him for some reason. I don't know if was all the hype or what. Very talented rider, but very much an under-achiever, I feel. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, looking at the line-up, pretty sure that was the one; thanks! I remember that Silver rode well, but now, seeing Alan Grahame winning, that does ring a bell. I have a pretty good memory - sometimes - but when I think about that being 33 years ago, that is scary! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite dusty if i remember rightly? and I can remember another year semi final at Swindon where Rosco qualified.Going back to Silver he along with Shawn McConnell were real crowd pleasers great value.
