Thanks Nutz  .

The scrambles looked as cold and windy as I feel at the mo.

1954 - no pits and no pit tooties - not a woman in sight!!! When men were men.........

Very good quality for its time-great stuff.
Loved the old outfits of course.

Thanks Nutz, great footage.
EML's right, good quality for the era, some of the old stuff looks sped up but that looks pretty close, they still got around at a fair click on those old beasts.
Loved it.
I hope your Granfather is still with us? looks like he liked the sidecars.

Bantam racing looks to be a lot of fun, great movies
