Thank you, Derek Butcher - Anonymous - 06-10-2002
9 times TT winner, Dave Saville was a guest at the Jock Taylor Memorial meeting today at Knockhill. A number of sidecars supporters made this possible...you know who you are...thank you.
However, a special thank you to Derek Butcher, owner of Knockhill circuit. As well as providing a very hospitable Scottish welcome to Dave, June and their team, he impressed us all in a moment of temporary adversity.
We wanted to get Dave on the balcony of the Circuit office to watch the main race. However, the last door on the way was about 1/4 an inch too narrow.
Derek got a claw hammer and ripped off the door frame facings.
Thank you for having a Can Do attitude, Derek... every team needs someone like you.

What a sport!
There can't be many like Derek!
Sounds like the weekend was a success,
although sad at the loss of Jocks Father.
