Whose bike and who is in the photo ?

Went looking for an old photo and again came across the packet of pictures I took at 25th Aniversary BRC meeting at Snetterton September 1985.
I can put names to most people and bikes. Do these look familiar ? I think that is Pete Tibbetts # 1

Hi, john,
Picture 3 , that looks rather like the Steve Hall machine , with his w/c engine , and so ably campained by Mark Carkeek.
Strange thing though , Mark never built or owned a racing Bantam!
I could be wrong though , a lot of blue bikes around then .

Happy racing everyone, Trevor

Ref pic 3
27 Stevie Halls bike...

Middle bike (number not shown) Stevies other bike as used by Mark in picture 1
and I believe the bike(rolling chassis) used by Mark in last years parade.

63 Adrian Andrew

Hi, Mike,
Not quite correct, the 27 machine was sold by Steve as a consequence of another period of severe impecunity!
My older brother , David , donated his rolling chassis to the " team " to enable racing to continue.
Steve inserted my newly finished w/c engine , and from 97-2001 , when Mark, again, gave up Bantam racing
to race his 350 TZ, that was the set up. It was the all "Amos" machine that you saw at the Lydden parade, on
the cicuit for the first time in ten years, even the tyres were that age, Mark did`nt seem worried though!
To add a small historical foot note , the frame of 27 was from the ex Bob Newby championship winning machine .

Hope that helps a little , Trevor

HaHah,

So my suspicions were half right.

Not only did I remember talking to some ascerbic Brummie geezer over #30, I thought the middle blue bike was the one Mark rode that day and 27 had some Amos connection.

So Trevor, was that you I sold some CR gears to at Cadwell October 1994 or Steve Hall; never caught a name !

cheers

John

Hi , John,
Certainly was`nt me , i didnt attend a race meeting from the late 70s untill mid 90s .
For all of that period getting through life was difficult , Bantams were just irrelevent .

regards ,Trevor
