The European Series is less straight forward with individual winners declared at each meeting held (seven in total) Edited November 23, 2021 by steve roberts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I missed this meeting. Was it held on a different night to the usual Saturday meeting? Was it this meeting that Penhall was a no -show? The meeting's available on dvd from Jan Steachmann. Edited December 30, 2021 by waiheke1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Mudguards covering all the way down to where modern-day dirt deflectors go. They kept snapping off on the bends. 4 minutes ago, waiheke1 said: For some reason I missed this meeting.

Normally we still made the Sunday meetings at Hyde Rd, will have to ask my parents why they didn't take me to this one Also missed the Peter Craven meeting in the same year (won by Andy Smith) for some reason as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect we went to the Coventry meeting on the Saturday instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
