Crystal
Palace
The race meeting
at Crystal Palace was a fun event we all trooped up to South
London in our usual convoy, we parked in the grounds next to
some dinosaurs as I recall I slept in the back of Raffertys
Mini Pick up. In the morning stiff and cold we foraged for
food some likely lad I can't recall who raided the local
doorsteps for some milk sorry people. The race event was a
big success it was a lovely track, I was racing the ex
Wildcat Vega 125 5 port, and as usual I was getting a
fantastic view of Bev Flaniganns rear end, over the years I
got to know her rear end very well, as her bike was just a
bit faster than mine.

The meeting came
to a close and we headed of back to Fareham unfortunately my
race came to an early end, my bike packed up round the last
bend and I was shunted up the rear by someone and took a
flying trip, boy those tracks were hard.
