The picture of Spencer and Sheene is ace. How times have changed no gravel trap no run off with rumble strips does not look like any spectator barrier fences 10ft tall photographers stood on grass in crash zone no big advertising hoardings blocking spectators view no aero humps on leathers with drink dispenser built it elbows off the floor, admittedly corner may not have required such

Nope, not going there. All the OCD people can just suffer.

Does anyone know if this is from a Pro-am race? I like the race leathers 😃

I thought the Pro-am was just LC's I may be wrong! I know LC's and valves had race series in other countries, not just UK and in the UK it was the Wrangler/Which Bike pro-am. After LC's they used the then new 3lk's as well. There were pro-am races where the best British riders in the series took on the best riders from other domestic series, i think there are a lot of stories of the other riders being intimidated by the crazy Brits! Peddrotzr may well know more about this. Mouse

Peddrotzr may well know more about this. Mouse Yes you’re right The Pro-am was in a few countries & they had best riders from each series were invited to a world final. A mate of mine Dave Dean (Mitsui rider racing in TT/F2 series was invited to France Finals 1982 and was watching the French riders trying to get selected for final, he said it was total carnage with some riders having total lack of interest in having any future birthdays!🤪 Here is a link on Xavier’s website with lots of photos and information. www.rd350lc.net/pageCUP.htmAfter the Rd/LC pro-am, the series in Uk became the TZR-Cup 1987 (riders invitation only) bikes were either supplied by a local Yamaha dealership or had to be bought by rider (which I had to do) Ayer each race The first 3 bikes finished and 3 at random were stripped and inspected to ensure no cheating. I was going to Velalunga Italy to the world final but serious injury after being run over @ Cadwell ruled me out. The Pro-Am revival in 2015-2017 was great fun as were all in late 50’s but rivalries still as intense as ever. Shame it wasn’t continued and had a few youngsters in it. A few of the bikes have been sold off so doubt it will happen again. I was very lucky to get an invitation as loads of ex racers all wanted to have a go. Will try to put a link to photos from Silverstone and Cadwell But just at TT and a bit crap at this stuff on my phone Can’t find Silverstone link But here’s Cadwell 2017 www.flickr.com/photos/157250085@N07/albums/72157685347484844Best regards Johnny c
