From memory Rob Herring . He was on Castrol Honda and 14 is a fairly high number sso could be UK rider .I have some film somewhere .Kurt Nicol was #13 I think so makes ense tha Herring is #14 , can't remember the 125 rider - maybe Bennet. Nicol won the 500 class anyways but only because Bayle handicaped himself. Herring was up there in the 250's but Beveorts from Belgium was incredable.

seems to have heap's more table tops,berms and less whoops.
There is a cutoff before cliffords leap for the first lap, so no pile-ups.
Long straight at the finish line,then onto cliffords leap
Will have a look at our vid & load onto youtube

Hey Suzuki 311....great shots of the yanks bikes. That Harley is something else. You wouldn't by chance have a photo of a pink Maico from that meeting would you?

It's much the same moto, They have turned the single jumps up 'Rock 'n' Roll hill' into tabletops and are using the full straight with 'Cliffords Leap'
like the old days. I think the last jump still has the same kicker on the left that was there in the 80's :)
