On Saturday and Sunday we were treated to a number of racing and sprint machines being fired up within earshot of the stand. Most of these were Honda racing replicas but we heard a couple of Norton’s run, a Manx and a Rotary which spat flames from it’s exhaust on the overrun. The noisiest was the sprint machine as you can see from nearby spectators covering their ears!
Our thanks to Dave Kendal for organising the stand.
