Scooterotica

Got invited through a friend to take part in a partade of vehicles painted in the Gulf livery today at Snetterton in Norfolk. Dissapointing turnout due to the closure of the M11 but got the chance to ride round the new circuit albeit in single file behind a Pace Car. Some nice photo ops though




They got us to form up on the grid and as I sat there I wondered how long it was since a lLambretta sat on the grid there. The last time I was at a scooter race there, Ron Mos and Nev Frost were ridding The place has certainly improved since those days.

Wow, what an opportunity! lucky you ..

Nice one, Col. Did you get a ride in one of the cars?

No such luck but one of the drivers let Adele play with his instrument



We only just made the parade as well, we live literaslly 5 miles from the circuit and was ther for an hour before we got the call but the fekin thing would't start Plug out and still sparking so we bumped it and it started just in time to join the other 8 vehicles (50 more stuck on the M11 aparently)

I didn't realise Adele was so attractive, Col

Oops, wrong pic I've edited it now, the chap in the helmet owned a VW Van in Gulf colours

Nice one Coaster.
Any idea why there is no more scoot racing at Snetterton? Only place I was ever able to see and hear true racers in England.

No idea m8, maybe too remote? Perhaps some of the racers on here know?
