Title: Chorley pics - UPDATED WITH RACE REPORT
Post by: kusam on January 28, 2006, 10:47 PM: This is all I have of Chorley :-\ Though do have a regional race report with pics in a magazine, though remember the pics being black and white and very 'dotty'...Also have Ribby in a magazine too. Next time the mags are out I'll scan 'em on.

Post by: kusam on January 28, 2006, 11:42 PM: The first 3 pics will be from 84, it's when I was first starting out. I never knew the 'superchute' as anything other than tarmac.

Even pic 4 will be late 84/early 85
