BRA Display Stand at Barry Sheene Festival of Speed

The Bucket Racing Association was honoured to have two famous riders Graeme Crosby (above) and Robbie Phillis (below) visit their display stand. They both denied rumours of a shift to Bucket Racing.

Robbie won both heats of The Barrie Sheene Memorial race taking out the Trophy in convincing style and finished 2nd in the Post Classic & Forgotten Era 750cc & Unlimited on his Mick Hone 1100 Suzuki after a DNF in one leg.

The BRA stand was a busy place for most of the weekend

New Bikes seen at Wakefield Park

ABOVE: Bob Murphy's new Motolite created quite a stir at the far end of the pits. Bob placed 8th overall despite some teething problems and some off course antics on the last race. Frame is a RGV250 with 200cc XR200 motor fitted. Nice bike Bob.

 

ABOVE: Club President Ken Lindsay's totally revamped Superlite looked stunning. The bike was completely stripped down and rebuilt. New modifications to chassis, suspension and motor were carried out topped off with a brilliant paint job.

 

Attention to detail is everywhere, Ken must have burned the midnight oil on this one.

ABOVE: The King was looking very racy from the getgo and was on the pace finishing 3rd on the day after some great dicing with Jeff Clissold and Ian Gregory in the Superlite Pro Class Photo Courtesy: Thumper

ABOVE: Andrew Jones aired his new bike for the first time but was beset with electrical problems. When he was running he was quick but failed to score any points.
