Old Track Racing Pics

[iandg]

I have been playing with my digital camera and taking shots of some of my old photos/newspaper cuttings etc. Here are some of the results:

National Tandem Sprint Champs, Leicester, 1980? (or '81)

Andy Hayes and Pete Humphries

Terry Tinsley and Paul Sydenham (with the late Eddy Soens) and Hayes/Humphries

From L to R: Gary Coltman?, Gary Sadler, Paul Sydenham, Terry Tinsley, Pete Humphries and Andy Hayes

Me in a team pursuit riding for W.Mids in an Inter-region Centre of Excellence Competition at Aldersley (1981?)

Great pictures Wicker Man.

Looks like those guys could put some serious hammer down on those tandems.

Nice photos! I like the mix 'n match helmets...I used to have one (Brancale?) in fetching brown and yellow.

Nice pictures. I'm currently researching/writing the history of Saffron Lane

Also nice to see Albert Franks in the third picture down (holding the starting pistol), he was the Official Starter at Saffron Lane. I saw him a couple of weeks ago - he's 91 and still goes out with his club every Wednesday
