Ray Stadia Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 That is sad news. Never met the man, but a name that has been around speedway, it seems, forever! RIP Mr Drury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry to hi-jack thread it's about respecting Graham Drury).... Edited January 29 by martinmauger hopefully added tactful respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastest engine I ever had, much better than I was. Nowhere near the same with a smaller carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
