Liz is Deve Thorpe any realation to Dave Thorpe  ;)

Yep looks good even the pre 90  ;D Nice KX 250 A4 in the mix 8)

But why oh why do the Poms insist on running moderns at vintage events  ::) looks like they had plenty of vintage bikes so why taint a good meeting by running moderns  ???

Deve Thorpe is actually his Indian cousin-you might have seen him in that Bollywood porn classic Deve does Donnington!!
It's an older version shot on the scrambles paddock inside the road race track. Not too dirty but exciting just the same-for some.

Gotta get the young guys there to have a look to get them interested in the old bikes... I know it works, because that's how I started.  I was totally dismissive of vintage racing in any form until I did a couple of rounds of Viper in modern class.
