Re: Testing again at Brands
Nice one Bruce
It looks like a 600cc? How often does she race? Are the tracks local to you?As for Brands Hatch, it used to be my second home when I was younger. I rode from Essex over there as many times as I could and even met Barry Sheene when he first started racing - on a 350 Bultaco if I remember. Now that Jonathan Palmer is in charge, the whole place has changed - for the better.

They (she and her husband) also go dirt bike racing out in the bush but it is too cold for me to go and watch that at the moment.
I was a member at Brands in the late 50's early 60s, I also used to go to Snetterton and Crystal Palace when they had races. I remember watching Stirling Moss slowly destroying the car he was driving at Snetterton - he never quite got the idea that to finish first you had to first finish.
