bellevueace Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Has there ever been a more iconic photo taken? I started going in 1968 so missed out on seeing the original PC, a total legend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the worlds best ever, completely different styles, chasing the same bit of dirt, and so close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The classic Match Races between the two held at Cowley in 1963 when the track record was broken...wish I had been there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 If I remember correctly Peter rode the Oxford track well. How did he do that day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i recall Peter beat Ove 2-1 that particular day and set a track record of 63 secs which stood for ten years and was only bettered when the track was altered and a new record established (George Hunter?)
