Driving past Keiths place today, I popped in to say hello, I noticed a plain brown envelope on the side, I quickly smuggled it out, hoping it may have been porn, or Keiths shares dividends cheques for the week, but no, it was a few pics he has saved for a quarter of a century. He has been promising these pics for over a year, so it was good to see them.
First one, a heavy final at Ipswich 1982
Andy just clear of the carnage, so is Keith, I was in third but become the victim of Diamond back "team riding" Tony Slater T boning me with Chris Simmons finishing the job off. Marcus Arrowsmith, Knight and Burke made up the rest of the field

Stiff one, the Ace rider aint Cav, but an equally rad rider and a contender in 17+ in the early days, shame he went inside, he could have done very well :-[
